6 Ways School Is Stopping Your Creativity
School is making you wasted and non-creative person
Remember those days when you could also dream of becoming a Actor or a real life hero, a pop singer, a pro athlete. But after passing some levels at school you start thinking realistic ( Actually most unrealistic things) things like getting a 9–5 job ,paying rents.
You are so far from that dreamer you were before and do you know who forced you to this bullshit stuff that is called school. Comment what funny thing you wanted to be when you were a child.
Sir Ken Robinson said in his famous TED Talk.
What we do know is, if you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original. And by the time they get to be adults, most kids have lost that capacity. They have become frightened of being wrong… And the result is that we are educating people out of their creative capacities.
