While watching the video of creativity in class I realized how much creativity we really are lacking. What really caught my attention was when the speaker mentioned how we are taught to thrive for careers such as a teacher or doctor or police but no jobs in the arts. It is okay when we are little to want to be a dancer or an athlete but as we grow older we are talked out of it by putting us in doubt. We are put in doubt by the question of having enough money to pay for our future bills or to support our future family. I believe schools should help us thrive for any career.
I would like to know your guys' opinion on this topic.
I feel like teachers have to push us to those types jobs instead of the ones that involve creativity.Due to the fact that there is always going to be a high demand for doctors,teachers,and police officers.If they did not push us to those type of jobs young adults would be stuck on the concept that they can accomplish anything and become a successful dancer,artist,and singer.When in reality the odds of that happening is 1 in a million due to the amount of competition.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you Jennifer. Thankfully, Mayfair allows for students to be involved in various creative activities but not all schools offer this. Schools should allow for more creative opportunities because if we engage in some of our hobbies we will find what we are passionate about. Without passion and drive, what we do and say is meaningless. If we do what we love, who can stop us.
