I agree that schools kill creativity as the schools only teach a certain area of things and not everything under the sun, they do not broaden our perspective yet they only follow the syllabus set by the Ministry of Education(MOE).

The schools do not have their own decision of what to teach and the schools are only keen on getting good results, for example, the 'O' level examinations, where the schools would be banded according to the results the students of the school get. The students are only reading from the textbooks and not what is beyond it. Also, what is tested in the examinations are only from the textbooks, thus the students will have a mindset that studying the textbook is enough and they will not go and explore more. For example, humanities, like History. Students have to study the textbook and model essays in order for them to get good grades.

When there is a project to be completed by the students, they would be a rubric telling the students in order to fulfil some requirement of the project. Thus, the students are not able to express what they feel and this limit their creativity as it might not be in the rubric and the student will not get a very good grade and in this competitive world, students would want to get good grades.

The schools also plan many enrichment and activities for the students to attend after school, thus the students might not be able to have time to spend extra time doing other recreation things and broaden their perspectives.

Therefore, I agree that schools kill creativity
