creativity

Today I´m going to talk about Mr. Robinson and his talk about the creativity in the schools.
In few words he says that school teach to children just to do math´s operations, to memorize contents and thing like this, in other words our kids only learn to repeat and repeat knowledge. So, what about the creativity, the new ideas, the possibility of express doubts? Mr. Robinson says that the school ignore the creativity and the expression of the mind processes in children.

Actually, he isn´t saying nothing new. The emphasis in stimulate the creativity in children is a topic in Educational Psychology since a long time. Save contents in our minds without other aplication that repeat and repeat like machines, have no sense and it is a lose of time and money. The child has to learn to internalize the reasoning what he is memorizing. Later, he can be able to use his knowledge and to create new knowledge. That is the object of the education.
