Default Do schools kill creativity?

Picasso: 'Children are born artists' - it is educated out of them

Creativity is about being prepared to be wrong.
'If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never do anything original.'
'We stigmatise mistakes'

In my experience I learnt very little at school about life. Sure I could count to ten and I could write a letter but no-one told me that to get ahead you have to be dishonest and corrupt. I was raised in Catholic school and I was taught that poverty was a virtue. In this school you were shamed and abused.

I think the education system is in danger of killing creativity. There isn't enough time to teach things outside of the syllabus and even the stuff within the syllabus is taught to a mark scheme

In fact, peop0le who are prepared to be wrong are not creative, but successful. Creativity is not necessarily a step on this path.
And at primary school you don't get things wrong any more. The government have slowly edged that one out.
