I'm thinking I really want to do something about schools killing creativity. However, because we're not supposed to do SKR, I think I could incorporate Dale Stephens into my idea because it'd be really easy to talk about debt and stuff like that.
But anyway. My personal feelings about schools killing creativity is that they really don't. It's not really their fault. I think it mainly has to do with the state, particularly dealing with NY. I think that teachers are forced to teach toward the tests in all grades. Standardized testing is what results in teachers being unable to incorporate new ideas and new material into their curriculum. Some students don't do well because it lacks the creativity. And then you have some teachers who DO try to incorporate interesting things, but get reprimanded or don't get the results on tests and therefore get into trouble or something like that. I think if we did away with standardized testing, we'd have a much better educational system. Tests aren't really a good way to see how much people know simply because some people just aren't good test takers. It's too much pressure and it creates these ridiculous standards for students to live up to. There's more, but it's time for Anatomy!
