Past: Education>creativity
Future: Education = creativity

It was a warm, sleepy day when Mr. Garrioch turned on the video related to the education. I'm pretty concerned about the educations and how it should be developed, so I was kind of interested what Ken Robinson said. He contended that current education is killing children's creativity, which is extremely important and valuable in society. He is stressing that the world is leveling the children with one standard 'academic study'. He keep points out that most part of the world is neglecting the significance of arts and sports that are essential to our lives and other ways to succeed after profound research. Even though my suggestion about education is somewhat different than the perspective he looks into it, I mostly agreed to his opinion.
It is obvious that current education system, especially in Korea, needs to be modified. Lots of Korean teachers are pushing their students into assignments and exams with cramming method of teaching. But cramming the knowledge against students' will is meaningless to be called as education. Students will forget the information that they've learned after few weeks. In addition, they will be bothered when they practically try to make use of knowledge since students are lack of experiences because teachers forcibly put the information into the heads.
Now, the government should help students to learn academic things by experience so that they won't forget information. For instance, schools have to arrange more facilities in science laboratories and gymnasium. Second, teachers must consider the new curriculum with extra hours of physical education, art and music. I wish the government to admit that every subject is equally valuable so that they should support and encourage students to be specialized and creative in their favorite fields.
