Longman Dictionary (2017) defines creativity as “the ability to use your imagination to produce new ideas, make things ….” Without creativity, the world cannot advance and we become where we are today; for instance, the advent of technology was brought about by human creativity and innovation. In pedagogical settings, students nowadays have more access to learning resources such as laptops, tablets, and phones, made possible by creativity in technological advancement.

            First of all, students’ creativity is adversely affected by test-based learning system and traditional teaching methods.

Creativity theory draws upon many definitions that evolve from a divergent psychological thought. Although the majority of the definitions have been challenged, experts agree on their descriptions of creative individuals. Creativity characterizes such performances as rational thinking; high levels of emotional development or feelings; talent and high levels of mental and physical development; and higher levels of consciousness, resulting in use of imagery, fantasy, and breakthroughs to the preconscious or unconscious states. The concerns in today's society demand creative and novel resolutions, which require creative thinking and problem solving. Theorists and researchers have attempted to define creativity, suggesting that creativity can be learned and taught. Creativity studies justify the development of educational creativity training programs. Teachers can promote the children's creative thinking capacities by providing an environment that contributes to their creative thinking potentials that will or will not flourish in the children's development of creativity.
 
Runco, M. A., Johnson, D. J., & Bear, P. K. shows a study result that parents and teachers' actions implicit children's creativity. Parents is the first teacher for every child,every act of parents will be imitate.this kind of imitation is a typically implication .

Education on children's whole being is necessary when creativity is depreciated by schools. Experts investigated and concluded that nations prioritize academic learning than creativity. When children grew up, they were conformed as the same. ]]> 2017-10-11 00:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/zoudihust/88/wish/195848973 Sana, Violet, Melanie https://padlet.com/zoudihust/88/wish/195848995 Creativity can be defined as a form of self expression, a use of the imagination to create something from nothing. Nowadays, teacher tend to focus on the exam-oriented education system, teaching students subjects such as math and science rather than art related topics as they have the belief that it is more useful in getting into university. The subjects taught at school are usually not used to develop the talent of the students but rather used to pass exams and gain impractical knowledge that is not used in society. This analytical report will examine the reasons why schools kill creativity.

 Schools kill creativity as they restrict students, forcing them to be confined to a limited range of study and not giving them an opportunity to develop their potentials and talents. An example used by Ken Robinson (2006) on TED talks is how a little girl was taken to the doctor as she could not sit still in class. It turns out that the problem was not hers, not due to the fact that she was unable to sit still, but that studying in a classroom was simply not what she was born to do. She was a born dancer, and being forced to do so was a restriction to her and hindered the development of her abilities.

Creativity can be shown in renewing old ideas and resulted in better concepts. 

TS: Creativity is possessed by every human being.

B1: Since childhood human beings create naturally in their learning stage. Children roam simple lines on paper or paint a family drawing with crayons. Without professional training, children have their own little creation and display their gifted creativity.

B2: Gradually, humans observe flaws or mistake in their daily life. Their inborn creativity would find means to amend faults or even have improvement, for example, the former president of U.S created a humorous atmosphere to soothe his supporters' enthusiasm by self-claiming "a lame duck", so that the farewell speech went on according to his plan.

According to Danile (2012) "Creativity isn’t a test to take, a skill to learn, or a program to develop." With the increasing amount of pressure in today's education system, teachers have been forced to give standardised tests to students in order to control academic level, taking away student's freedom of self expression.

There is a generalised concept of literacy and creativity of being less important than integrated subjects. Robinson (2017) said, "all education systems globally have a ‘hierarchy’, with math and language at the top, social sciences in the middle and arts at the bottom." With this habitual attitude from the majority of educators, children have been derived of their voice and self expression.
