This video touched on a subject that is important to me because I feel that it connects to me on a personal level. In today’s education system creativity is being tossed out and it is detrimental to our society today but even more important, to the future. Going through the public school system (as well as college) I feel that the flame of creativity that once existed has been extinguished. It is a struggle for me to be creative and even more so to have the confidence in myself to try. It is disheartening to acknowledge the fact that our education system today is not promoting creativity in the classroom. The sole focus of education is content; not building a generation of people that can think for themselves, not be afraid to be wrong, and are willing to use their creativity to develop original ideas that have value.
