School Creativity

According to Sir Ken Robinson, schools kill creativity by not putting as much emphasis on the arts as on other subjects.  He quoted Picasso "Every child is born an artist."  We do not say that that child has succeeded only because he/she is a very good artist, they must excel in the core subjects to say that they succeeded.  The educational system is built to provide workers for the industrial age; that age has passed and we need to adjust.  Schools can help promote creativity by getting students more interested in the arts and increasing the portion of the schedule dedicated to the arts.  I wish that teachers knew that I don't learn very well by writing; I can learn by reading fairly well.  My most useful learning style is kinesthetic.  I usually combine my visual/auditory with my kinesthetic style.  If I see or hear something, I try it to see if it works.
