Is creativity being killed?
Nov 26 2007, 11:45 AM EST
With only right and wrong answers, where is there any real room for discovery, for coming up with new ways of doing things thus new avenues of getting things done? We need not diminish the arts in primary education but expand it - but please - no standardized testing here.

I believe that creativity has been replaced in our schools with testing and teaching to the tests instead allowing students to learn through discovery and exploration. As an adult I can honestly say although I didn't test as much in grade school as I test my students, I can't recall my teachers exposing me to various art forms. I am glad I am learning more about art through PVB. Maybe I will have more to give my students other than testing techniques.
