My name is Sherrie Brooks. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in educational technology at the University of Houston (Victoria). I was born in Wharton, Texas, and later moved to Houston where I currently live. Throughout my career, I worked at CHI St. Luke's Hospital, Texas Children's Pavillion for Women's Hospital, And retired later from Houston Methodist Hospital. Currently, I work for Fort Bend Independent School District as a substitute teacher. My two grandchildren and three sons make up my loving family. Two of my favorite things in life are going to church and watching football, particularly the Dallas Cowboys, who are America's favorite team.

Discussion 4 How schools kill creativity" (Ken Robinson 2006)

I like Sir Ken Robinson's Ted Talk and agree with his rationale on how education might hinder children's creativity.  Today mainstream educational systems can discourage creativity, although several educational initiatives promote it. The impact on creativity depends on school and teacher methods and culture. Providing underlying knowledge and abilities while encouraging creative expression is vital. Teaching methods, curriculum design, and educational priorities must be constantly updated to foster creativity in schools.

In schools today standardized assessments can encourage memorization over creativity. However, standardized testing often cuts creative disciplines like the arts and educational projects. Many schools use experiential education to get students to think critically, solve problems creatively, and work on projects. Collaboration can boost imagination and creative thinking in these methods. Some teachers are using individualized learning to foster creativity by catering to students' abilities and interests.
