[...] What's the Connection Between Creativity and Personal Development? [...]
Hi RichAvery,
I saw Robinson’s TED talk and found it very interesting.
I think children are reprogrammed to see only value in what they can remember. Rather than what can also be found inside them. Yet when children are taught to use their own strategies to find their own creative solutions, they actually love to learn again.
And when they are engage in hands-on, interactive learning, their love for learning new things goes up another notch. I think kids get bored in school because they can’t see why they have to remember stuff that they can’t touch or explore. Kids should be praised for how they learn things, not just for how much they can absorb.
Personally, when I was in school, I was either bored or confused most of the time. So a drew pictures any chance I could get. So I didn’t learn too much but I sure learnt a lot about myself and developed an intense curiosity about the world around me. So I am still learning and I still love learning new things.
Thanks Rich for your post.
Steve Supple.
