I agree with a lot of what he is saying, but you do need the 'boring' subjects to get a job. Creative subjects do require a degree of the other subjects. Why is the onus on teachers though??
What is the point of a highly creative day at school when the child goes home and turns into a zombie couch potato. How many children are able to get messy? How many children are allowed to make some sort of decision?
I witnessed a child running out of school today, waving a painting for which they'd got a merit! The parent took hold of it and was almost embarressed
Martha is fairly creative, but since going to school has become more creative
Sure we expect something from their schooling, but I also expect to take an active role as well.
