I feel most schools require all students to be uniform. Yes, people have many opinions as to what they define as creativity. Maybe types of clothes or whether or not students are able to freely express through speech or literature. Most schools have a required dress code and have guidelines that prevent the students from saying what they may or may not truly feel. These aren't the only cases. Some may view this as organized, and that's okay. Everyone has their own view on the situation. Who's to say that anyone else with a different opinion is wrong or right?

I think schools do kill creativity because we as students each have our own personality, style and way of thinking. We do not have to wear uniform in high school but we have limits as to what can be worn, and in some cases what can be said. If a person wants to have twenty facial piercings or curse there will be consequences. I believe schools do kill creativity, not on purpose but, for the well being of the students.

Most classes, in enforcing structure and specific directions, smother students' individual takes and methods that often work better for the student and help them to learn. The originality of students is often guided into an 'allowed' form of originality, a mold, if you will, that defeats the purpose of creativity and when students leave school, they have been conditioned to do only certain original or creative things.

Sometimes you don't have a chance to make the work your own in school. They set up certain guidelines that you have to follow so it is hard to express your own ceative ideas when you have to stay inside the rules.

My answer is yes, I do believe schools kill creativity. Due to some bad seeds, school staff must lack trust in all the students at their school. Students are to dress in an appropriate manner, which is understandable and civilized. However, students have certain restrictions that seem unreasonable. For example, students cant have certain haircuts, hair colors, or piercings. For most teenagers, hair and jewelry, apperance in general is a very large and important part of youth expression. Also, students are denied their unalienable right to religion, and many other things they cant mention in school. For these reasons, I believe that schools do take away from creativity in some ways.

I believe they do because at school, instructors or principals limit to how students can express one's self, as in physicalness, or in other things they prefer. It seems as if they're kept in a box, with only the rules and regulations the schools enforce and accept to live with.

In my opinion, school does kill creativity since many students want to be like their friends, to either become as popular as they are or to have the same attention as they do. By going to school, students are limited to their freedom since they can't express themselves and who they really are for being scared of what people might say about them.

Yes because school do limit a certain indivudals creativity, by telling them what they can and cannot do, say, wear and etc.

Schools have all these rules about facial piercing, different colors hair, types of clothes, etc. I'm not sure on what the schools reason for these rules are, but i think ts because they few these things as weird or inappropriate. It shouldn't be up to them to decide whats appropriate or not on certain things. Most people make their hair rainbow or Peirce their eyebrow because thats how they express them selves and they want to be and individual. The schools try to make these things seem bad and try to make these kids conform to look they way they want them to.

I think that schools kill creativity because everybody seems to think that school is boring. Creativity is supposed to be fun and exciting. If school was more creative, more people would want to come and it would be more fun. However, that is not the case.

Schools do not completly kill creativity, but does limit it. When a student receives an assignment, they are usually given guidelines that do not always permit them to be as creative as they could possibly be. For instance, if a teacher tells a student to draw a picture in color that expresses them, but they are able to express themselves better by drawing in black and white, then their creativity will be limited. Some studens are also sometimes restricted in their writing creativity, by special formats that exist and by some of the topics that they have to write about. Creativity revolves around individuality, for it comes from what a person wants to do and not what everyone else is doing.

Schools kill creativity because of all the rules we are subject to follow. We might be able to choose our own clothing but our choices are strictly limited. Schools try to block out the truths of real life by making us follow rules that people in high positions force upon us. Our creativity is limited due to the view of our teachers, staff, and the district and what they believe we should learn and shouldnt learn. Our creativity is what makes us unique and without it we are nothing. When we are ask to draw and create a project, there are still rules based on what we are not allowed have in that project or drawing. Even in a creative class, we are still limited to what we say.
