Since mistakes are looked down on as adults, children slowly lose their creativity because they are no longer prepared to be wrong. Public schools prepare students' to be professors and the education system is teaching only academics. Creative people think they are not creative because they are told growing up "you will never make it as a musician", "you will never become a great painter" and it discourages children from putting their creativity on the table. Often times adults hold back their ideas because they do not want to look or feel stupid. Intelligience is distinct. Everybody has their own talent that somebody else lacks. Education should not only be about academics, but creativity as well.
I agree with what Ken says because children need to be pushed to be creative because everybody is intelligient in their own way. Not everybody learns academics as well as others. Perhaps the students' having a hard time learning academics excel in arts. People need to be encouraged to do what makes them happy because anybody can do anything they set their mind's to.
