Personal opinion "How schools kill creativity"

First of all, I'm sure Sir Ken Robinson is a specialist in education so it’s important to know about him and his talks (even if you disagree with him). Hear his talks can help all people to think about different things that are related with education.
Now, about the video that we saw in class, I agree with the idea that schools kill creativity. For example, in my case, when I was at school I had just two hours of arts, and I had to choose between music and arts, but what about maths? I HAD 8 HOURS OF MATHS, where we just do exercises and there was no creativity. At school we danced just once a year in Physical Education.

Nowadays, schools are in charge of preparing students to work in an industrial society; but I think they are not preparing students to live as students want, if you want to be a musician, teachers and parents say you are wrong, and they try to change your option and sometimes they achieve and you study something that’s “not your cup of tea”. It happens especially here in Chile, where the creative is less than all the other things.
