Do school
KILL Creativity? Honestly? YES! It does! To be honest, I wonder, why did during kindergarten days they teach us to be creative and as soon as we get older and go to high school and university, the teaching of creativity dies along.
"Truthfully what happens is, as children grow up we start to educate them progressively from the waist up. And then we focus on their heads. And slightly to one side."
- Sir Ken Robinson
As Sir Ken Robinson quoted, I agree fully with him! Take me for example, I'm not a book reading worm nor a serious type of person BUT in school I am
"taught" that way. To read and memorize. To do with steps and stuff like that when actually I want to do something different. I want to do it my way. The teachers teaches the kids to follow the line. They use their
LEFT brain more than their
RIGHT less.
Try and imagine the world with the
LEFT brain users ONLY. Trust me everything is going to go black and white. Without the
RIGHT brain people, the world is colorful and a fun place to live! :D
In Malaysia nowadays have different schools that helps students who are not so interested of the
LEFT brain subjects like reading subjects or calculating subjects. Those school are known as the
Vocational and
Kemahiran ( Abilities ) school. They teach more to hands-on rather than theory stuff. I used to study in Vocational school due to my laziness and hatred towards studying all these boring subjects in my previous school. For two years in a row, I learned a lot and scored easily especially for my hands-on subjects. Students like me, we don't quite like sitting and reading and calculating. It reaaaally bores the heck out of me. I might... die.....
I started got interested in studying in the Vocational school. It doesn't kill me with theories and stuff. Yes, we still do have some reading and calculating subjects but the hands-on subjects are one of the reason why we scored. They taught us to use our
RIGHT brain. We had to think outside the box to do our hands-on project. There's a lot of courses provided in Vocational school such as, programming, baking, fashion, electrical and electronic and etc. Well, like I stated, nowadays we need to generate students with a balanced usage of brain so that they could create something new. Something that could wow the world.
