Intentiveness

There are countless things schools, and the teachers within them, can do to foster creativeness and imagination in a learning environment.  Although I am quite biased, I believe that encouraging the Fine Arts would be beneficial to all.  Whether it be Speech, Choir, Band, Orchestra, Drawing, Pottery, Drama or the like, these activities have the potential to encourage students to expand their mind.  This does not mean, however, that inspiration is guaranteed. It does allow an environment where creativity can flow. Often this is because there is not a "right" answer, where as some other classes may stifle creativity by saying there is one right answer, and only one way to get to that solution. Creativity is imperative to this day and age as many people have deemed it nonexistent anymore. We need to show children that we haven't discovered anything; that this is far from the truth. Ideas don't have to be recycled, but can be made new. Creativity, is therefore, important for those that want to get ahead in life - new ideas are extremely valuable. There are many other ways that imagination can be fostered in schools, and no matter by what means this is done, it is important that schools find ways for kids to utilize their creativity.
