. Sir Ken Robinson: The Importance of Creativity

I feel the same as Mr. Robinson, creativity is as important as any other subject. It is imperative that kids are not ashamed of their mistakes. As a child we are taught that "if at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again." The very first time I made a pecan pie I used whipping cream instead of condense milk. I didn't write the recipe down; I tried to remember what I need. Well, the pie came out better than my grandmother's (whom I got the recipe from) and now she use whipping cream. Mistakes can be remarkable breakthroughs.

In the video he talks about being highly intelligent but not being able to express your talent because it's not politically correct. My brother who is now twenty three, took advance honors class, makes a living as an artist. As teachers I feel that we need to allocate the talents of our students in some part of the lesson. I feel that this will allow you as the teacher to keep the students attention. It is important to remember that kids learn better if they are include, meaning they like the way you are teaching. Students who like to draw will understand that 2+2=4 if he can draw 2 star plus 2 more stars instead of counting on his fingers.
