Nowadays some people are worried about schools killing children’s creativity. Let us firstly know more about the definition of creativity and also about the way schools diminish and develop creativity.
Referring to Wikipedia, creativity consists of creative abilities allowing people to come up with principally new ideas deviating from traditional or established systems of thinking. Interestingly it is also mentioned that the one who is creative feels intuitively how to come up with a new idea and how to find the right direction of thoughts and also how to solve tasks: to add a thing or turn something upside down, creativity is the key for “endlessly diverse and interesting life.” Creativity  is the antidote from stereotypes. Creativity is the tool for the self-realization.
If you ask me I wouldn’t say schools kill creativity. Undoubtedly schools spread people’s and governmental opinions (/ideology) , some parts of what should be filtered. Though schools give basic knowledge - why do we have winter ? Why do we have night and day? Why do we hear “the sea” in the shell? Schools give us fundamental knowledge and develop our thinking without what we would have never been able to be creative as all new comes from things already existing.
I believe every modern (/civilized) person should be constantly educating himself and school is the great way to learn how to educate yourself individually. Though, never should we forget about what is needed for us the most.
