I recently watched Sir Ken Robinson's talk on TED with the title "Do schools kill creativity?". To answer this question myself, after taking into consideration what Robinson said, yes, I firmly believe that schools and education in general nowadays kill creativity and clearly do not motivate students to express themselves through creativity or discover their creative self, which all have.
Today's educational system includes mostly academic subjects, like maths and history, and focus on teaching theoretical things to children rather how to be creative, which in my belief is a factor that helps with discovering our true personalities, style and looking deeply into ourselves.
The main goal in today's societies is to produce university professors. This is great for some, however, that way the creative side of children starts to fade away. Students who have a special talent on music, drawing, dance or any other form of art and are not much in favor of academic subjects, find it difficult to adjust to the demanding school curriculum. They do not have the opportunity to express themselves and get involved with something they enjoy and are good at.
All in all, I strongly believe that schools in all countries should add subjects which are going to boost student's creativity and help them find their lost creative selves.
