Yes, I think it kills our creativity because in what other ways can you express yourself; when in class, they want you to write over a certain topic. Just me, I like to write but it just depends on the topic being discussed or asked of me. If there were better ways that schools can get kids to express themselves, then we'd be able to express ourselves more freely.

They may try and bend the way in which we can write but it's just not the same, I'd like to write about what I want to write about.

I think why they kill it is because they make it seem like we don't have a choice in the matter so it takes away our creativity.
