Curiosity gave life to creativity


letter spelling out creativityCuriosity and creativity are things that our students should be able to express in the classroom every day. In my opinion schools in the United States easily take this away from our students. They don’t allow our students to express their personality. Our schools set certain rules and make sure the students follow these rules.  They teach our students in the states the way that they believe things are supposed to be, never allowing them to do what they want. 
As teachers we can change this and develop a curriculum that allows our students to express themselves. When we assign assignment we don’t have to put such strict rules on them. Instead of ruling students we can let them have freedom with their work. We have to learn to think outside of our beliefs, and consider what our students might believe. We can encourage our students to be different.  Allowing students to be different can be fun and educational at the same time.
 Teachers can be more creative by coming up with creative activities for the students to do in the classroom. We need to think outside the box with the rules in the classroom. Allowing students to sometimes make decisions and take over can help them become creative also. If we listen to our students, they can help us become more creative teachers. Students have great ideas and imagination, allowing them to express this is the problem we are running into.

  1. "Curiosity and creativity is something that our students should be able to express in the classroom every day." Your subject is plural. Your verb should be also. Curiosity and creativity are things...

    "When we assign assignment... " assignments?

    What about you and curiosity and creativity?
