In schools around America, there are plenty of opportunities for creativity ranging from clubs (including debate club), to extracurricular activities, to participation of various charity events, and raising awareness for social change. There are recognition for Gifted programs, enriched classes, co-op opportunities, and students with special needs to enhance their learning abilities; everything ranging from academic opportunities to extracurricular activities. The content we learn in a classroom today are much more flexible and it is taught in a way that is understandable to most students. I believe that American schools and education boards have already done enough in terms for stretching students' boundaries, developing comprehensive learning, and integrating students into our future society. Take a look at other countries with a lack of education, take a look at a country where art classes have to be eliminated once students go to high school, take a look at a country where grades and textbook are valued greater than recreational activities. We are lucky enough to have these opportunities. Now it is left for students to explore with a creative mind. Inspiration can come from anywhere. Schools have definitely provided students with enough opportunities, the problem sometimes are the restrictions in between, but creativity will always collide together. Some students will enjoy school, while some will enjoy less. We always have to take account into both perspectives. For me, school is a free and enjoyable environment to discover my passion and grow as a person comprehensively. -written from a student's perspective Side: Yeah

Many of the students are in a good many creative things but nowadays school will not support any kind of creative activity which help a lot for child growth. Then you need to support this organization https://essay-writing-services.reviews/ Side: Yeah

No. You are forced to go to school. And if you are not interested? You will be threatened "Go to school or we will throw your parents in jail, its for your own good". They are built like prisons. They have a set timed schedule where you go from one cell to the other no matter what you are doing. Do you know the feeling when you are starting to get interested and something and are interrupted? Well in this case you are stopped completely. Some learning environment huh. School destroys critical thinking and teachers leave no room for debate or talking.

No, they don't. The reason why is because of too much demand (which in turn is demanded by economic needs). Students are bombarded with subjects and conditions of learning, although to remedy this error would in effect defeat the purpose of school in the first place. Side: No

I do not think the are enough opportunities for us as children to be creative in school. This is coming from a child in middle school. I feel that we can not use our imagination if there are not enough opportunities for us. When we do projects in art, most of it was just us being told what to do! Don't you guys think that your children could use a little more creativity in their lives. I mean come on people, if you were not on your phones, games, Instagram, Facebook, etc., maybe you would notice a little more!!! Waterloo, Rootstown, Ravenna, none of these schools provide much creativity. Most of it happens while teachers tell us what to do and how to do it!! Side: No
