Does school kill creativity 学校是否扼杀创造力英语作文演讲稿
中小学教育扼杀学生的创造力SchoolsStifleCreativity
Schools Stifle CreativityAbstractCreativity is essential in every aspect of daily work and study. Schools should encourage and teach students to use their creative thinking, which should have been one of the purposes of public education. However, creativity is stifled and, not surprisingly, schools that comply with rigid education system are to blame.Key words: education, creativity, intelligence, academics, school systems, standardized test, divergent thinkingPicasso once said that all children are born artists. We all approve of the idea that children have their capabilities or innovation, but somehow they lose them with gradual growth. I believe people get educated out of creativity.Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson said, “We do not grow into creativity, but we grow out of it.”It mainly roots in the educational situation. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativityand acknowledge multiple types of intelligence. In his speech about education and creativity, with ample anecdotes and witty asides, Robinson points out the many ways our schools fail to recognize --much less cultivate -- the talents of many brilliant people. Much of the content of his speech was reflective of the way education has been structured, which was considered as killing creativity.Mr. Robinson has made me realize that what schools teach is in breach of creativity. It is crazy to think that we are teaching kids for a future that we can not even begin to make predictions about. For some reason school systems are so dedicated to teaching facts, which leads to a fact that children searching text for facts. Sadly the majority of these facts can be found with a quick Google search. Obviously in some circumstance we can not find answers or we are not sure about what the facts are, but our schools also teach persuasively in their basic identical way. For instance, how do we educate our children to take their place in the economics of the 21st century, given that we can not anticipate what the economy will look like at the end of next week? How can we do that? Not only do schools do what they did in the past, but they alienate many kids by criticizing them stupid boys. So what is the whole purpose of public education throughout the world? Mr. Robinson said the purpose is to produce university professors. To a certain extent it isreasonable because generally people think children are not good enough if they can not get all A in their examinations. Once addicted to some special interest like hobbies concerning computer or music, they would be forced to give them up and stick to study all the time. Undoubtedly creativity is killed in the name of proper education.As the development of economy, now the world becomes economic globalization, which makes dominant systems of education being rooted in the values and demands of industrialism. It seems that every education system all over the world has the same hierarchy of subjects. The schools pay more attention to mathematics, sciences and languages, and the arts are always at the bottom. There is no denying the fact that learning mathematics and sciences are good for us to make our living in the future. However, students spend much time just on mechanical practice, which not only can not improve their intelligence but also lose their creativity gradually. Have you ever noticed that many social, economic, spiritual and environmental challenges we now face depend on the very capacities of creativity? Therefore, education system should be about developing human beings, and human development is not mechanical or linear. It should be organic and dynamic.In education, the emphasis on standardized testing such as the SAT inUSA and college entrance examination in China is typical exam-oriented education. Under an obsessive culture of standardized testing and tight financial pressures, many teachers j ust focus on the right answer to the question especially on the multiple choice question rather than encouraging students to think deeply and explore their interests in depth, which hampers further creative thinking in students. It leads to a disastrous waste of talent among students and their teachers. The emphasis on testing and passing exams which are guarantees of entering colleges often squeezes out the development of other vital skills, such as creative thinking, collaborating or communicative skill. Now more and more students going to college are just to get a higher degree in order to entitle to the job requirement but not to develop their interests in what they learn. In this case, creativity is stifled gradually. It also causes academic inflation which impairs the value of the college diploma. So, education needs to be progressive, but this cannot be done alone, it needs leadership support. Some measures m ust be taken by government to change this condition.In 1968, Nevada revised their Citizen Education Protection Law to protect the children's creativity from school education. Research shows that highly creative persons have broad interests, good sense of humor, quick response, confident and efficient. School, family and society arekey factors in cultivating these characters.Teachers a nd parents often say, stop dreaming and get to work. This should not be a valuable maxim any more. We absolutely need dreams. Without dreams, mankind would not be able to fly up to the sky. We can also teach the students to seek common points while reserving differences. This is another way to stimulate their creativities.Brain storming, here it means we can introduce divergent thinking method to the students. In this way, they put different kinds of information together, assemble randomly, sift and analyze to figure out the connection. In writing class, teacher can provide students with unrelated words to make stories.Thinking in images is a widely spread method to improve your creativity. Generally we see those painters and artists as the most creative people. Actually everyone can try to think and express in images. In this way, we can easily find the details and contradictions in recurring images. Drawing pictures, writing down models when you are thinking help a lot. For example, with interesting image association, reciting words will not be dull and boring.Schooling is not to provide the world with same students. If schoolsstifle creativity, then they will betray their mission. The earth is moving.The world is developing. Steve Paul Jobs once said, “We’re here to put”a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?BibliographyKen Robinson. “Schools kill creativity.” TED. June, 2006. <>Schools Kill Creativity. 2010. < >Ken Robinson.

TED演讲：学校扼杀了我们的创造力本视频网易公开课链接：/movie/2006/2/V/E/M7SP3QUET_M7SP3T0VE.htmlWhat are you have is a person of extraodinary dedication who found a talent.We've all agreed on the really extraordinary capacity that children have, their capacities for innovation. And my contention is, all kids have tremendous talents and we squander them, pretty ruthlessly. So I want to talk about education and creativity. My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.现在的教育提倡的是一个有风险精神的老师能发现一个天才学生。
我们一致认同，孩子拥有超凡的才能，或者说创新能力。
我认为：每个孩子身上都蕴含着巨大的才能，却被成人无情地磨灭了。
因此，我想谈谈教育和创造力。
我相信在当今这个时代，创造力在教育中的地位同读写能力一样重要，理应得到同等程度的重视。
I heard a great story recently, I love telling it, of a six-year-old girl who was in a drawing lesson. The teacher said usually this little girl hardly paid attention, but in this drawing lesson she did. The teacher was fascinated and she went over to her and said, “What are you drawing?” and the girl said, “I'm drawing a picture of God.” And the teacher said, “But nobody knows what God looks like.” And the girl said, “They will in a minute.”前些日子我听到了一个很棒的故事，我喜欢逢人就讲。
学校扼杀了学生的创造力？Ken Robinson Ted英语演讲视频中英字幕,英语文本
演讲稿英语文本：Good morning. How are you? It's been great, hasn't it? I've been blown away by the whole thing. In fact, I'm leaving.There have been three themes, haven't there, running through the conference, which are relevant to what I want to talk about.One is the extraordinary evidence of human creativity in all of the presentations that we've had and in all of the people here. Just the variety of it and the range of it.The second is, that it's put us in a place where we have no idea what's going to happen, in terms of the future, no idea how this may play out.I have an interest in education -- actually, what I find is, everybody has an interest in education; don't you? I find this very interesting. If you're at a dinner party, and you say you work in education -- actually, you're not often at dinner parties, frankly, if you work in education, you're not asked. And you'll never ask back, curiously. That's strange to me. But if you are, and you say to somebody, you know, they say, "What do you do," and you say you work in education, you can see the blood run from their face. They're like, "Oh my god," you know, "why me? My one night out all week." But if you ask people about their education, they pin you to the wall. Because it's one of those things that goes deep with people, am I right?, like religion, and money, and other things.I have a big interest in education, and I think we all do, we have a huge vested interest in it, partly because it's education that's meant to take us into this future that we can't grasp.If you think of it, children starting school this year will be retiring in 2065. Nobody has a clue, despite all the expertise that's been on parade for the past four days, what the world will look like in five years' time. And yet we're meant to be educating them for it. So the unpredictability, I think, is extraordinary.And the third part of this is that we've all agreed nonetheless on the really extraordinary capacity that children have, their capacities for innovation. I mean, Sirena last night was a marvel, wasn't she, just seeing what she could do. And she's exceptional, but I think she's not, so to speak, exceptional in the whole of childhood. What you have there is a person of extraordinary dedication who found a talent. And my contention is, all kids have tremendous talents and we squander them, pretty ruthlessly.So I want to talk about education and I want to talk about creativity. My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status. [applause] Thank you.That was it, by the way, thank you very much. Soooo, 15 minutes left. Well, I was born.I heard a great story recently, I love telling it, of a little girl who was in a drawing lesson, she was6 and she was at the back, drawing, and the teacher said this little girl hardly paid attention, and in this drawing lesson she did. The teacher was fascinated and she went over to her and she said, "What are you drawing?" and the girl said, "I'm drawing a picture of God." And the teacher said, "But nobody knows what God looks like." And the girl said, "They will in a minute."When my son was 4 in England -- actually he was 4 everywhere, to be honest; if we're being strict about it, wherever he went, he was 4 that year -- he was in the nativity play. Do you remember the story? No, it was big, it was a big story. Mel Gibson did the sequel, you may have seen it, "Nativity II." But James got the part of Joseph, which we were thrilled about. We considered this to be one of the lead parts. We had the place crammed full of agents in T-shirts: "James Robinson IS Joseph!" He didn't have to speak, but you know the bit where the three kings come in. They come in bearing gifts, and they bring gold, frankincense and myrrh. This really happened -- we were sitting there and we think they just went out of sequence, we talked to the little boy afterward and we said, "You OK with that" and he said "Yeah, why, was that wrong?" -- they just switched, I think that was it. Anyway, the three boys came in, little 4-year-olds with tea towels on their heads, and they put these boxes down, and the first boy said, "I bring you gold." The second boy said, "I bring you myrhh." And the third boy said, "Frank sent this."What these things have in common is that kids will take a chance. If they don't know, they'll have a go. Am I right? They're not frightened of being wrong.Now, I don't mean to say that being wrong is the same thing as being creative. What we do know is, if you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original. If you're not prepared to be wrong. And by the time they get to be adults, most kids have lost that capacity. They have become frightened of being wrong.And we run our companies like this, by the way, we stigmatize mistakes. And we're now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make.And the result is, we are educating people out of their creative capacities.Picasso once said this, he said that all children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up. I believe this passionately, that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather we get educated out of it. So why is this?I lived in Stratford-on-Avon until about five years ago, in fact we moved from Stratford to Los Angeles, so you can imagine what a seamless transition this was. Actually we lived in a place called Snitterfield, just outside Stratford, which is where Shakespeare's father was born. Were you struck by a new thought? I was. You don't think of Shakespeare having a father, do you? Do you? Because you don't think of Shakespeare being a child, do you? Shakespeare being 7? I never thought of it. I mean, he was 7 at some point; he was in somebody's English class, wasn't he? How annoying would that be? "Must try harder." Being sent to bed by his dad, you know, to Shakespeare, "Go to bed, now," to William Shakespeare, "and put the pencil down. And stop speaking like that. It's confusing everybody."Anyway, we moved from Stratford to Los Angeles, and I just want to say a word about the transition, actually. My son didn't want to come. I've got two kids, he's 21 now, my daughter's 16; he didn't want to come to Los Angeles. He loved it, but he had a girlfriend in England. This was the love of his life, Sarah. He'd known her for a month. Mind you, they'd had their fourthanniversary, because it's a long time when you're 16. Anyway, he was really upset on the plane, and he said, "I'll never find another girl like Sarah." And we were rather pleased about that, frankly, because she was the main reason we were leaving the country.But something strikes you when you move to America and when you travel around the world: every education system on earth has the same hierarchy of subjects. Every one, doesn't matter where you go, you'd think it would be otherwise but it isn't. At the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and the bottom are the arts. Everywhere on earth.And in pretty much every system too, there's a hierarchy within the arts. Art and music are nomally given a higher status in schools than drama and dance. There isn't an education system on the planet that teaches dance every day to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why? Why not? I think this is rather important. I think maths is very important but so is dance. Children dance all the time if they're allowed to, we all do. We all have bodies, don't we? Did I miss a meeting?Truthfully what happens is, as children grow up we start to educate them progressively from the waist up. And then we focus on their heads. And slightly to one side.If you were to visit education as an alien and say what's it for, public education, I think you'd have to conclude, if you look at the output, who really succeeds by this, who does everything they should, who gets all the brownie points, who are the winners。

Do schools kill creativity
Do schools kill creativity?I heard a great story recently -- I love telling it -- of a little girl who was in a drawing lesson. She was six, and she was at the back, drawing, and the teacher said this girl hardly ever paid attention, and in this drawing lesson, she did. The teacher was fascinated. She went over to her, and she said, "What are you drawing?" And the girl said, "I'm drawing a picture of God." And the teacher said, "But nobody knows what God looks like." And the girl said, "They will, in a minute."From the story, we have found that children’s creativity is inherent(天生的)，rather than “taught”. Most children are born with very strong curiosity and imagination, but after a period of time in school, they will become more cautious and gradually lack innovative consciousness (创新意识).What killed their talents? Undoubtedly, school do!As we all know, schools have laid too much emphasis (强调) on the standard and discipline, which has reduced the personality differences between students and stifled(扼杀) their creativity. Schools become places where mistakes are not tolerated, which will inevitably(不可避免地）discourage students from making attempts with uncertain results. But no attempts ,no creativity.So, we have to rethink the fundamental principles on which we're educating our students. The traditional education kills creativity. There is still a long way to go before we change this phenomenon. The unique job is to help children to overcome challenges, not to bury their creativity. (255)。

my school rules的英语作文
My School Rules: A Blend of Discipline andFreedomSchool rules, often perceived as mere restrictions, actually play a pivotal role in shaping our character and instilling discipline. My school, with its unique blend of strict regulations and ample room for personal growth, provides an ideal environment for academic excellence and personal development.Firstly, the attendance policy is stringent. We are expected to be punctual and present in all classes, as regular attendance is crucial for academic success. This rule instills in us the importance of responsibility and commitment, teaching us to value our time and respect the efforts of others.Secondly, the dress code is another essential aspect of our school rules. We are required to dress modestly and appropriately, reflecting the dignity and respect for the institution. This not only fosters a sense of unity among students but also prepares us for the professional world, where dressing professionally is essential.However, discipline does not come at the cost ofstifling creativity or individuality. Our school encourages us to explore our interests and talents, providing various extracurricular activities and clubs. Whether it's sports, arts, or academics, we have the freedom to pursue our passions and develop our skills.Moreover, the academic freedom within the classroom is remarkable. Teachers encourage critical thinking and foster an environment where questions are welcome and discussions are vibrant. This not only enhances our understanding of subjects but also prepares us for the real world, where problem-solving and innovative thinking are key.Lastly, the code of conduct, which emphasizes respect, tolerance, and inclusivity, is an integral part of our school culture. We are taught to treat everyone with dignity, regardless of their backgrounds or beliefs. This helps us develop into compassionate and responsiblecitizens who value diversity and inclusion.In conclusion, my school rules strike a balance between discipline and freedom, fostering not only academic excellence but also personal growth and characterdevelopment. They instill in us the values of responsibility, commitment, unity, creativity, and freedom of thought, preparing us for a successful and fulfilling future.**我的学校规则：纪律与自由的融合**学校规则，通常被视为仅仅是限制，实际上在塑造我们的性格和培养纪律方面起着至关重要的作用。

Does School Always Kill Creativity
- 207 -校园英语 / 基础教育研究Does School Always Kill Creativity保定外国语学校/曹双源The creativity is frequently referred to be one of the most important factors for those successful people. The hot issue, where they get the talent and who reduces our mother wit, keep drawing the attention of the public. Does school always kill creativity or develop it ？Creativity is characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being. Creativity requires passion and commitment. It brings to our awareness what was previously hidden and points to new life. If you have new ideas but don ’t act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.School, seen as the most major killer of creativity, may be the most important developer of students ’ creativity in fact . We were born with imagination, which allow us to get to know the new world and have our own ideas about the surroundings. Before school educating, we were followed by vary sorts of caring. We were told not to do this or that to avoid dispensable hurts. It is the time when we get into schooling, that we really have the chance to transfer our imagination into creativity. School liberates us with allowable permission instead of the caring constraint of family behaving. We begin to taste the sweetness of making our ideas come true as well as we are discouraged when the ideality is beyond our ability. While we are crazy acting on the thinking, teachers are paying more attention to remedial action for us. Increasingly, we got the shape of the original creativity.As we are growing gradually, school is more and more important for us, we enjoy learning, thinking, acting and also failing. School, for us, is the society, in which we have our boss, the teacher who always drops missions with the high expectation, our colleagues, who sometimes deal with the problems with me, sometimes compete with me. Thinking individually, discussing with others and finishing the work make us eager to get the finial evaluation. Among all these processes, we can choose to draw our ideas into action or not, in another word, we have our own option on it. We can stop at any section by just following the given answers. It is because Ma Yun thinks with his own brain and acts on them makes Ma Yun today.As we know it ’s easy for schools to get control of everything with constraints, while for those improve the students ’ innovation ability are better qualified to the honor of educating. While that some schools would prefer the benefits gained by squeezing out students ’ creativity, most of schools are opposed to their obligatory way to educate. However, most of the schools are neutral between the two standpoints . Although squeezing their students may lead to great profits of supervising, many believe that creativity-lacking is direct consequence of this. And it would also terribly result in making the students get more and more difficulties in job-hunting. Recently, the experts have been appealing to release the students from their great pressure against the traditional restrictions.On the whole, imagination is one of the personal abilities and creativity is a kind of attitudes to the imagination. Taking an action on, we may achieve or fail. only imaging, we must fail. So it ’s mainly decided by one ’s personality, but not what affects him and what the circumstances he is in. Although some strictly-managing schools are really limiting students ’ imaginations, none can transform a creative talent into someone who can just retell things from their books. We shouldn ’t blame everything on school, as well as we depend on the environment for making people more creative.Whether school kills creativity or not is to be doubted, while it ’s not the mainly factor. Creativity is mostly decided by one ’s personality but not what school he is in. Doing is better than saying. Without actions, imagination will never be creativity.1.

【英语阅读】Do Schools Kill Creativity(教育扼杀创造力吗)
Do Schools Kill Creativity?教育扼杀创造力？TED talk by Ken RobinsonNow our education system is predicated on the idea of academic ability. And there's a reason. The whole system was invented --- around the world, there were no public systems of education, really, before the 19th century. They all came into being to meet the needs of industrialism.现在我们的教育体制是基于学术能力的理念的。
这是有原因的。
整个教育体制被创建出来——十九世纪前全世界没有公共教育体制，真的——都是为了满足工业化的要求。
So the hierarchy is rooted on two ideas. Number one, that the most useful subjects for work are at the top. So you were probably steered benignly away from things at school when you were a kid, things you liked, on the grounds that you would never get a job doing that. Is that right?因此，这个系统的等级制度植根于两个理念。
第一，对工作最有用的科目处于顶端。
所以当你是个孩子的时候你可能被和蔼地劝离从学校学到的东西，自己喜欢的东西，因此你永远不会得到一份这样的工作。
对吗？Don't do music, you're not going to be a musician; don't do art, you won't be an artist. Benign advice -- now, profoundly mistaken. The whole world is engulfed in a revolution.不搞音乐，你不会成为一个音乐家；不搞艺术，你不会成为一个艺术家。
TED 学校扼杀了我们的创造力
TED演讲：学校扼杀了我们的创造力本视频网易公开课链接：/movie/2006/2/V/E/M7SP3QUET_M7SP3T0VE.htmlWhat are you have is a person of extraodinary dedication who found a talent.We've all agreed on the really extraordinary capacity that children have, their capacities for innovation. And my contention is, all kids have tremendous talents and we squander them, pretty ruthlessly. So I want to talk about education and creativity. My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.现在的教育提倡的是一个有风险精神的老师能发现一个天才学生。
我们一致认同，孩子拥有超凡的才能，或者说创新能力。
我认为：每个孩子身上都蕴含着巨大的才能，却被成人无情地磨灭了。
因此，我想谈谈教育和创造力。
我相信在当今这个时代，创造力在教育中的地位同读写能力一样重要，理应得到同等程度的重视。
I heard a great story recently, I love telling it, of a six-year-old girl who was in a drawing lesson. The teacher said usually this little girl hardly paid attention, but in this drawing lesson she did. The teacher was fascinated and she went over to her and said, “What are you drawing?” and the girl said, “I'm drawing a picture of God.” And the teacher said, “But nobody knows what God looks like.” And the girl said, “They will in a minute.”前些日子我听到了一个很棒的故事，我喜欢逢人就讲。

Schools kill Creativity学校扼杀创造力
Schools kill CreativityI agree with the idea that schools kill students’ creativity. How do I reach this conclusion? As far as I am concerned, schools kill creativity by standard answers, the one-to-all teaching method and the lack of practice.Standard answers can kill creativity. Schools often use standard answers in exams for the convenience of correcting. This may prevent students from independent thinking. In order to get good marks in the exam, some students may think the same as they were taught. If students think the same way, it will be difficult to create new thoughts or methods. Once everyone thinks the same, there will be no creativity. Thus, standard answers kill creativity by killing independent thoughts.The one-to-all teaching method can also kill students’ creativity. If the students just listen to the teacher, their creative thinking will be restrained because they have few chances to speak out their own views. How can you expect students to have creative thoughts if they can’t speak out what they think? Unfortunately, this method is still widely used in Chinese schools.The lack of practice is another problem in school which leads to poor creativity.A large quantity of creative ideas comes from practice. When a student meets a problem during practice, he would try to find a better way to solve the problem. A creative thinking may slip his mind. Little by little, creativity can be cultivated by solving the practical problems. But most schools emphasize theory rather than practice, so students don’t have enough opportunities to benefit from practice.In conclusion, schools contain lots of factors which may kill creativity. But we can do our utmost to cultivate ourselves by thinking independently, speaking out our views and practice.。
中小学教育扼杀学生的创造力SchoolsStifleCreativity
Schools Stifle CreativityAbstractCreativity is essential in every aspect of daily work and study. Schools should encourage and teach students to use their creative thinking, which should have been one of the purposes of public education. However, creativity is stifled and, not surprisingly, schools that comply with rigid education system are to blame.Key words: education, creativity, intelligence, academics, school systems, standardized test, divergent thinkingPicasso once said that all children are born artists. We all approve of the idea that children have their capabilities or innovation, but somehow they lose them with gradual growth. I believe people get educated out of creativity.Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson said, “We do not grow into creativity, but we grow out of it.”It mainly roots in the educational situation. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativityand acknowledge multiple types of intelligence. In his speech about education and creativity, with ample anecdotes and witty asides, Robinson points out the many ways our schools fail to recognize --much less cultivate -- the talents of many brilliant people. Much of the content of his speech was reflective of the way education has been structured, which was considered as killing creativity.Mr. Robinson has made me realize that what schools teach is in breach of creativity. It is crazy to think that we are teaching kids for a future that we can not even begin to make predictions about. For some reason school systems are so dedicated to teaching facts, which leads to a fact that children searching text for facts. Sadly the majority of these facts can be found with a quick Google search. Obviously in some circumstance we can not find answers or we are not sure about what the facts are, but our schools also teach persuasively in their basic identical way. For instance, how do we educate our children to take their place in the economics of the 21st century, given that we can not anticipate what the economy will look like at the end of next week? How can we do that? Not only do schools do what they did in the past, but they alienate many kids by criticizing them stupid boys. So what is the whole purpose of public education throughout the world? Mr. Robinson said the purpose is to produce university professors. To a certain extent it isreasonable because generally people think children are not good enough if they can not get all A in their examinations. Once addicted to some special interest like hobbies concerning computer or music, they would be forced to give them up and stick to study all the time. Undoubtedly creativity is killed in the name of proper education.As the development of economy, now the world becomes economic globalization, which makes dominant systems of education being rooted in the values and demands of industrialism. It seems that every education system all over the world has the same hierarchy of subjects. The schools pay more attention to mathematics, sciences and languages, and the arts are always at the bottom. There is no denying the fact that learning mathematics and sciences are good for us to make our living in the future. However, students spend much time just on mechanical practice, which not only can not improve their intelligence but also lose their creativity gradually. Have you ever noticed that many social, economic, spiritual and environmental challenges we now face depend on the very capacities of creativity? Therefore, education system should be about developing human beings, and human development is not mechanical or linear. It should be organic and dynamic.In education, the emphasis on standardized testing such as the SAT inUSA and college entrance examination in China is typical exam-oriented education. Under an obsessive culture of standardized testing and tight financial pressures, many teachers just focus on the right answer to the question especially on the multiple choice question rather than encouraging students to think deeply and explore their interests in depth, which hampers further creative thinking in students. It leads to a disastrous waste of talent among students and their teachers. The emphasis on testing and passing exams which are guarantees of entering colleges often squeezes out the development of other vital skills, such as creative thinking, collaborating or communicative skill. Now more and more students going to college are just to get a higher degree in order to entitle to the job requirement but not to develop their interests in what they learn. In this case, creativity is stifled gradually. It also causes academic inflation which impairs the value of the college diploma. So, education needs to be progressive, but this cannot be done alone, it needs leadership support. Some measures must be taken by government to change this condition.In 1968, Nevada revised their Citizen Education Protection Law to protect the children's creativity from school education. Research shows that highly creative persons have broad interests, good sense of humor, quick response, confident and efficient. School, family and society arekey factors in cultivating these characters.Teachers and parents often say, stop dreaming and get to work. This should not be a valuable maxim any more. We absolutely need dreams. Without dreams, mankind would not be able to fly up to the sky. We can also teach the students to seek common points while reserving differences. This is another way to stimulate their creativities.Brain storming, here it means we can introduce divergent thinking method to the students. In this way, they put different kinds of information together, assemble randomly, sift and analyze to figure out the connection. In writing class, teacher can provide students with unrelated words to make stories.Thinking in images is a widely spread method to improve your creativity. Generally we see those painters and artists as the most creative people. Actually everyone can try to think and express in images. In this way, we can easily find the details and contradictions in recurring images. Drawing pictures, writing down models when you are thinking help a lot. For example, with interesting image association, reciting words will not be dull and boring.Schooling is not to provide the world with same students. If schools stifle creativity, then they will betray their mission. The earth is moving. The world is developing. Steve Paul Jobs once said, “We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here? ”BibliographyKen Robinson. “Schools kill creativity.” TED. June, 2006. <>Schools Kill Creativity. 2010. < >Ken Robinson.

Do Schools Kill Our Creativity
Do Schools Kill Our Creativity“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”——Mary Lou Cook Nowadays, almost every one of us goes to school. At school, we learn basic subjects, practical skills, especially about how to be creative. Yet, is it true that schools still put all rules on students? Is it true that students are still buried into mountains of homework just for a high mark? Is it true that schools still kill our creativity? Yes , of course it is.In a TED talk, creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems.“We are educating people out of their creativity,”, Robinson says, “and the current education system just has mined our minds and it won´t serve us.”And he also argues that it's because we've been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. So students with restless minds and bodies then are far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity.Bill Gates once said: “T reat your aversion to the people because there days you will work for such a person.”The Crimson called him Harvard’s most successful dropout. He als o was recognized as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to drop outofbusiness school.He didnot get up in the morning. That’s how he ca me to be the leader of the anti-social group. He dropped at last and founded the Microsoft, one of the biggest and wealthiest company in the world. He dropped because schools did limit his creativity. His success just shows how one become creative without schools.The current education system and schools have laid too much emphasis on discipline, which has reduced the personality differences and stifled their creativity. Many students do nothing but sit in a classroom, learning from a book. It seems that there is no need to be creative. Meanwhile, students in school cannot fully express themselves, and they do not feel the freedom they deserve thus, killing any creativity they might have inside their mind. On the other hand, if our schools put as much emphasis on the arts as they do on tests, maybe we all can be what we want to be. People have different goals in life, however, strict disciplines make us afraid to be creative and to be distinguished from others.When I got into school, I had to follow the regular ways as many of us. Sometimes I did not understand some points, however I was taught to remember it and there seemed to be useless to know why. And most of them were simple and could be easily thought of if you put your whole heart. As a practice, many teachers just told students to remember the simplest solution and that therewas no need to digest the others.To be honest, most of us really like to go to school. But most of them just for a certificate. So we have to rebuild the fundamental principles which we take use of to educate the students and make them serve us.。
学校是否扼杀了学生的创造力英文作文
学校是否扼杀了学生的创造力英文作文Title: Does School Kill Students' Creativity?In today's society, there is an ongoing debate about whether schools are killing students' creativity. Some argue that the traditional education system hinders students from expressing their creativity and innovative thinking, while others believe that schools provide a platform for students to develop their creative abilities. This essay will explore both sides of the argument and provide a balanced perspective on the issue.On one hand, critics argue that schools are stifling students' creativity by emphasizing rote memorization and standardized testing. The focus on exams and grades often discourages students from exploring their creativity and thinking outside the box. Educational psychologist Sir Ken Robinson famously argued in his TED talk that schools are designed in a way that prioritizes conformity over creativity. He highlighted how the education system values subjects like math and science over the arts and humanities, which limits students' ability to express themselves creatively.Moreover, the rigid structure of the education system can restrict students' freedom to experiment and take risks. With astrict curriculum and tight deadlines, students may feel pressured to follow rules and guidelines, instead of exploring their own ideas and imagination. This can lead to a lack of motivation and engagement in learning, as students may feel that their creativity is not valued or appreciated in the classroom.On the other hand, supporters argue that schools provide essential tools and resources for students to develop their creativity. For example, art classes, music programs, and extracurricular activities offer students opportunities to express themselves creatively and explore their interests. Teachers who encourage open-ended questions, hands-on projects, and collaborative learning can also inspire students to think creatively and critically.Furthermore, schools play a crucial role in teaching students essential skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication, which are essential for nurturing creativity. By providing a structured learning environment and academic guidance, schools can help students build a foundation of knowledge and skills that can support their creative endeavors in the future.In conclusion, while some argue that schools are killing students' creativity, it is essential to consider the complexities ofthe issue from both perspectives. Schools can provide a supportive and nurturing environment for students to develop their creativity, but they must also be mindful of the limitations and challenges that may hinder students' creative potential. By fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and critical thinking, schools can empower students to unleash their creativity and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Ultimately, it is up to educators, policymakers, and parents to work together to create a balanced and holistic approach to education that values creativity as an essential skill for success.。

Does school kill creativity?
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It’s my honor to stand here to share my ideas.
To be honest, I have deep feelings about today’s problem: Does school kill creativity?
It's a little bit extreme to say that the school kills the creativity of the students, and creativity is one of the attributes of the brain in my opinion.
However, the low end of the education will greatly limit the development of students' creativity.
The biggest enemy of restricting the development of creativity is the standard answer!
But do not worry, the standard answer seems to stifle the creativity of students, in fact, there is no problem, there will be no answer. So it is not wise to say the problem? Otherwise, we have a lot of teachers in fact, the problem is that if they have a lot of divergent thinking of the subject, who will give those divergent answers to a fair score?
Fair，this is a very important question.
Macroscopically speaking, our education has two different purposes: one is to choose the best, but to educate people. The two seemingly inseparable, but there are some inherent contradictions and conflicts.
Education is the key to knowledge and wisdom tradition, namely teaching.
I hope that all students can enjoy a fair education and examination Resources, I also hope that those students with unusual creativity can get the creative education they deserve and the corresponding selection criteria.
Our education system is predicated on the idea of academic ability. And there's a reason. Around the world, there were no public systems of education, really, before the 19th
century. They all came into being to meet the needs of industrialism. So the hierarchy is
rooted on two ideas.
Firstly, that the most useful subjects for work are at the top. So you were probably
steered benignly away from things at school when you were a kid, things you liked, on
the grounds that you would never get a job doing that. Is that right? Don't do music,
you're not going to be a musician; don't do art, you won't be an artist. Benign advice --
now, profoundly mistaken. The whole world is engulfed in a revolution.
And the second is academic ability, which has really come to dominate our view of intelligence, because the universities designed the system in their image. If you think of
it, the whole system of public education around the world is a protracted process of
university entrance. And the consequence is that many highly-talented, brilliant,
creative people think they're not, because the thing they were good at school wasn't
valued, or was actually stigmatized. And I think we can't afford to go on that way.
But I only know where the problem is, but I don't know what the solution to the creative problem is.
Fortunately, however, they do not have the ability to stifle my creativity, I am not bound by the habit of other people's thinking has been maintained to the present, but also in the continuous development of. I hope that some readers in the solution, to play, to break the shackles of examination oriented education, because through these, you can fly freely.
Thank you.。
