    I realised once I was out of school, where it felt like my sense of being creative was killed, that creativity was more than art. With that, my sense of what was possible opened up.

    It is absolutely true. Teachers should be careful not to make children to convince themselves they are incapable of anything. When i was primary school, there was a sweet boy who smiles and sit quietly in the behind. But every teacher openly insulted him front of whole class because he always had bad grade on every subject. I lost contact with him for more than 2 decades, and recently heard not nice news about him. I feel deep sadness when i think what if school system was different back then... he would have been still then same sweet boy as he was back then

    This is just so true, when I was in 1st grade and kindergarden, my creativity was just out of the roof, My crafts were so pretty and creative, i was always doing something that my parents would be so proud of! I would always make some tiny ass detailed as hell stuff, now I don’t have any ideas, why? Because of school, in 1st to 2nd grade i was the best in class, my projects were amazing, did all my homework because it was fun, and my texts were so interesting and had so many creative subjectives + adjectives or something english isnt my first language, Tbh, I really became dumber after 2nd grade, i know a lot of stuff now, but i still feel like I was smarter in school then now.

    I hated school. There were a few good classes and teachers, but not enough to outweigh the bad. The lack of empathy in the US school system I have experienced is abhorrent. These are just a few examples from my own personal experiences.
    1. I was coerced into taking ADHD medication (that gave me migraines) for several months before I graduated. (Which also contributed to when I got flu-like sickness, (puking, fever, etc.) every month if not every two weeks (that lasted 2 days to 2 weeks) that 'mysteriously' went away after I left school.) (Edit: I am still chronically ill, but he major worst symptoms are less now that I am not actively getting traumatized and have meds for anxiety and physical health issues. No official diagnosis yet for physical, bar suspicions of endometriosis and an auto immune issue. I was diagnosed last year with School-related-PTSD. This is alongside regular PTSD and C-PTSD.)
    2. I was denied credit for a whole semester because of my absences (due to being legitimately sick and not going to the building according to their own policy, which was that you must be fever free for 24 hours. AND, I had all A's and B's, and one F that I had already planned to make up.)
    3. Over and over again they forced or tried to force me to quit classes I loved (Orchestra, metalworking, and geoscience) because I 'needed' to take more maths and science. (I do love maths and science, but I HATED the way they taught it.) Though I think they forced it so hard because I am a woman. (Edit: I am female and bigender, a form of non-binary, did not come out and realize it till post HS, so for the sake of this, I am a woman, but in general, meh. Point still stands tho, any femme or female person gets pushed into STEM aggressively.)
    4. I was compared to my older siblings by teachers who said, "I expect the same or better from you because you are a (family name)." despite having their own children WHO WERE FRIENDS WITH MY SIBLINGS. (People are all different. How can you say you think to expect me to be like a carbon copy when you have kids of your own who are all different???) (Edit: This was before I was diagnosed with a maths disability and a reading disability at the age of 20. Not one teacher thought to suggest it, despite my problems and need for tutors constantly.)
    5. They disregarded my concerns over bullying and actual criminal activity going on during school hours in school. (Sex crimes, bomb threats, hate crimes, racial stuff, etc.)
    6. They promised me accommodations to be in this hell of an environment, and then never followed through. (The only way I passed was with the overwhelming support from my family.) Not to mention, a refusal to correct confusing instructions. (Not even my father, who has been a lawyer for over 30 years, could understand them.)
    These are just a few stories of the hell I experienced in school, mostly in high school. There are plenty more I have, but I don't think I need to drown you in negativity. This should be enough to show that there are problems.

      Hero worship is intrinsically repulsive and all too common. If you are unable to offer a worthwhile critique of my original comment above, instead of passing over it to find something you can whine about, then I would recommend you remain in bed, until you draw your last breath. You have made no attempt to further discourse on this subject.
      Furthermore, had you heard my comment in the context of a film script, which you paid to watch, you would have spurted out the same artificial laugh as the rest of the audience. Remember, you, yourself, are the product of a failed education system, therefore lacking the cognitive tools to offer anything of actual significance about such a comment.
      In all probability, your statement, like you, are devoid of value. You should (as one offering criticism) have the wherewithal to recognize that, in your current state, are incapable of making any intelligent statement whatsoever on this subject, and I doubt any other subject.

      Middle class dullard. Idiot. Explain pseudo-intellectual, then explain what precisely how it relates to what you read and how you managed to derive that from my comment. There is ore than one way to impose freedom of expression and the kind of comment you offer is one of them. A poor attempt to embarrass. If you had the faculties, you would be ashamed of yourself.
      The above, is as diplomatic is the reality of world affairs will permit. One of the most persistent and odious diseases in the history of this planet is hero worship. It is in its own right a religion for the obscene, for the great unwashed and intellectually infirm.
      Should there be a judgement day, the middle lass worlds mediocrity will be the first and easiest to assign to the nasty place.
      You, yourself )and I have encountered many like you) use as your first line of defense, name calling and when you are fail to defend yourselves with reasoned dialogue you cry "I;m offended.
      Do not be in any doubt that you personally are the cause of every ill on the planet. I could give a detailed expatiation why that Is the case but it would be lost on your stunningly low level cognitive capability.

      It really depends on what your definition of "wrong decision" is. If we are talking about your child committing murder or doing heroin, then no don't let them make that wrong decision. But if we are talking about your child wanting to major art instead of business, then no that's not a wrong decision. Maybe it's a bad decision in your opinion. Even if it turned out bad, the kid should still learn to make their own decisions and learn from failures. Every successful people on this earth has failed and made bad decisions at some point in their life, just that you don't know it.

    I think the reason why school kills creativity is because school teaches you to doubt yourself. When you score low on a test that you won't remember in a week, it undermines your self-trust. And so you are hesitant to try anything new, because you're afraid it won't be any good.

Teaching nothing that will help & enhance our lives as we try to reach our artificail goals or careers that we have been brainwashed into believing. I think we need a change in attitude. I mean; Worship knowledge with all it's benefits instead of wasting our lives with worshiping...entertainment, money & power. With this selfish attitude we certainly miss out on what I believe could be an interesting & yes & happier life . Too many people in their old age....regret not doing the things that would have made them happy. It's sad.

I need not list them; we know them. I can do two things after giving thought to what I've heard. I can review the ways that education failed me and my son. I also want to look at ways I can encourage my local schools to implement a program that focuses on the individual, that nurtures the specific talents of each child or youth, and helps each one to acquire skills within those possibilities. I was born and raised in California, USA. I am not just concerned about my country; I am concerned about our little planet, our precious earth. Just saying...

      Our public school system in the U.S. is one-size-fits-all because that approach is labor-intensive, and that suits adults. It was also sold out, starting in the 1960s, to the Educational-Industrial Complex in the form of Pearson and the big publishers of the brain-dead curricula that kids are subjected to all day. All of this is good for adults, while kids' needs don't even get on the radar, though the rhetoric is all about them. The system we have simply cannot be made to trust children or offer individualized education; only schools that practice self-directed education, such as Sudbury schools, can do that. Our system is controlled by politicians, and they will never humanize the system. The only solution is to tear it down and start from scratch, which can only be done if you get politicians out of the project, which won't happen.

      We appear here on this rock according to a way that our Adam Structure forms driven by by random experiences. Therefore we represent a field of infinite possibilities.
      This is what we call the experience of life.
      How we each express what we see is our version of reality. EXPERIENCES are not Good. Or Bad right or wrong.
      Experiences are Realitive to our view but they are also REALITIVE TO BALANCE OR IMBALANCE.
      WHATVIS AN ANGREED UP CHOICE OF BALANCE AND IMBALANCE?
      TO MY FIELD OF BALANCE I WOULD SAY WHAT EXTENDS OUR REALIZATION OF A MUTUAL EXPERRNCE OF SEEKING MUTUAL APPRECIATION OF ALL Caios to a form or harmony of the behavior of our form of behavior.
      We must apply our compilation of protoplasm to Appreciation. Grayitude, of the actions of infinite possibilities without choosing imbalance as we observe all possibilities.
      We must strive for realization and appreciation of all and choose the best most suitable way of walking A WAY OF BALANCE AND SUPPORT OF ALL

There are so many reasons.One of them is that schools that are supposed to bring out not only the best talents but to help children connect with their own potential are actually killing the very potential so what to talk of bringing out the talents. Too much of digital technology in schools is one of another reasons how schools are killing creativity.

    Is an 'A' grade student 'intelligent', or just a very adept copyist? A wonderful box-ticker? Very good at doing as s/he is told? Trying to please their parents? Desperate to be seen as 'superior'? Thinking only about the rewards for ticking the reward givers boxes in the order the reward giver wants them ticked? Subservient through apathy and/or greed?
    More importantly, would a true intelligence not allow itself a margin of error, just to avoid these possible self-destructive pitfalls? Or at least consider their possibility?

      The problem is the design of the system, not underfunding. We spend huge amounts of money on K-12 in the U.S., more than all but one or two countries. The problems are that it's not spent on the right things and that the system is not set up to trust children. A system that doesn't trust children is a prison, and children hate prison, just like adults too.

    When the lady put her hand at 10 for intelligence he messed up by shaming her and ridiculing her (unless I am missing something) in the middle of everyone...he got laughs and claps...he told her that she could go. That woman should have been applauded for having the confidence to own her creative intelligence and stand in it...this is a problem in culture. He got no 9's, that I could tell, 8's, 7's, 6's or 5's - that I could tell - and no wonder AFTER what he did TO this woman. He said, "Oh, come on..." when we wasn't getting any hands. Who would want to RISK going through that kind of humiliation - okay, now that I have said this, I want to say that what's missing here is a kind of systematic ignorance of Emotional Intelligence - a mutual supporting of each other and celebrating our accomplishments, and this includes in self-awareness and self-esteem. I stand with the woman who said she was 10 and for the courage it took for her to raise her hand...it was kind of a celebration and he goofed on it. The whole mood in the room, and on the video, changed.
    We can do better - creativity, intelligence and awareness.

    Aren’t parents there to foster individuality? Schools are there to engage children in learning, select the ones that mostly developed the skills of unmotivated learning, ‘learning yellow pages backwards’, being able to learn the uninteresting, like judges, lawyers, doctors, or any other high level professional has to. The rest are basically people who can be useful to society with barely being able to spell. The school system works. The parents need to add the extras if they want their children to have the luxury of individuality. The entire concept has only been existence since the Second World War. Before that you were a banker, a teacher, you stayed a banker, teacher for 30 years and retired into a small cottage in Devon.

    As ever - a great talk. The cameraman really know how to frame the 'subject', a great job, however I don't think he could speak English (and I can't speak Norwegian either) so he had no idea when to zoom out to capture the graphics that were being displayed. Sorry but for me, this was a bit distracting as it did have relevance. On more relevant point to the talk - I never revised for my exams and in further education decided after years of study not to sit the exam. Why? Because I didn't need a piece of paper to say I had been educated . . . I just relied on what I had to say (and with confidence and belief and . . . yes, with creativity) why they needed me to come and work for them. The same applied to running my own Design Agency for 30 years.
