Angelina's+Intelligences

Are Schools taking the creativity out of Children? If I had to pick any school that I could learn, listen, and focus; it would be Dance school. It would be filled with dancers of all kind. I would sit in a chair or stand (if necessary) and listen, because I am a dancer. I think dancing is what I love. But it isn’t the only thing I love. I also love art. Art school would be an amazing and phenomenal opportunity for me to show my art and express my feeling in a new way. People might not understand it, but pictures and painting can’t just fill you with different emotions, they also fill you with different ideas. Yes, schools show creativity; but most of the time they keep that for the end of the day and focus on Math and Language Arts first. Some schools think that if you don’t have a degree you won’t get a job. But if you have an amazing talent and work hard you can have a career and it would be of your choice. I’m pretty sure every school has been to a field trip. But it always has to be about learning something. What about a field trip where you watch dancing, singing, or even an orchestra (like some schools have seen)? I think some schools do kill the creativity out of children. Most kids are taught in school to have the right answer. But to get to where you want sometimes you have to get a wrong answer. Like trying to figure out what you want to be when you grow up. For example, a Lawyer or an Artist. Most teachers would have said that you can’t get anywhere being an artist. But you can get somewhere, there’s always a way to get there, one step (or paintbrush) at a time. If you don’t make risks, then how do you know what’s going to happen? I feel that creativity is the most important part in school. Yes, schools should be able to learn Math, Language Arts, and Science; but why not learn it in a way that kids should enjoy? Take our class for example, we learned Art, Math, Science, Language Arts, and had fun while making our Air Powered Rockets. We made the rockets (Art), launched them at an angle (Math), recorded the data and measure how far the rocket went (Science), and put it all in a PowerPoint (Language Arts). Schools should be more like that; kids shouldn’t have to be forced to learn, they should want to do it because they want to. When you mix creativity and learning, kids can focus more. Me, being a kid, would know. Therefore, some schools do take the creativity out of children and someday, kids will have the opportunity to learn the way they feel they can.
