When I was growing up kids were specifically shamed for having an imagination.

false. Kids are not creative geniuses. They have active imaginations.

Do not conflate the two. They are related, but not the same.

Kids do not have the depth of knowledge acquired through years of experience to be creative geniuses.

I can't believe I even have to type these sentences. I pray for a nuclear holocaust every day.

Why do you pray for a nuclear holocaust? Are you very picky? Would you be happy if an asteroid destroyed civilization? How about a plague? An alien invasion seems like it would be entertaining, with the sci-fi element and all.

I do agree with the first part of your comment. Of course, some kids are smart and some are too dumb to create anything but poop.

Agreed. Education for the most part is reading, writing and mathematics. Reading and writing require certain rules to be followed else we end up retarded sturcture lanwidge nd cant ppl nderstand wat u r seyin Maths just outright rules out some creative solutions due to logic getting in the way of fantasy. The only thing i think schools need to keep their noses out of is culture (promoting one over another) and historical interpretation (the holohoax etc). The only indoctrination i experienced at highschool was in social studies, which covered history and introduced me to the holohoax -_-

This just seems like some pointless finger pointing to me, no doubt things could be better but this is hardly productive. Also, leaving schooling entirely up to the school is a big problem here, if parents arent parenting, which INVOLVES teaching, then its THEM that are failing the children, not the teachers.

I guess using nuclear power to exterminate jews is as good a way as any.

But seriously, the upvote to downvote ratio on this is terrible and a few of these comments here actually terrify me and beckon me to leave this site never to return.

There are a fucktonne of crackpots and misfits who've left their kids out of the educational system, and they aren't all growing up to become Musks or Newtons or Beethovens, the trend is actually in the other direction, towards alienation, detachment, general crackpottery.

"Oh hey, kids are more likely to find something amazing by being idiot lemmings that will try literally anything if left unsupervised. Given an infinite number of kids and infinite time, every creative thing ever will totally happen."

Exactly.

"Sing a magic song that summons a flying elephant fairy to bring food to the poor people!" -- very creative. Not at all practical.

while i get it and school eventually becaomes indoctronation. little kids are like totally wasted people, you have to watch them constantly or they will climb on the counter tops and play with knives. little boys break everything to see how they work and little girls have no problem using mommys lipstick to draw smiley faces on walls.

and they fight and steal and lie. they have to have morals and discipline instilled in them or they will wind up like africans. i mean,they have to learn how to read and do basic math. you cant do that by letting them do anything they want in the name of creativity.

Schools give children the tools to carry out their creativity, when kids realize that their creative endeavours are impractical, they rethink things and ground their thoughts in reality, doesnt make them less creative, they just know what will and wont work. Give one of those creative kids a bunch of tools and tell them to make the creative thing they thought of and they will get nowhere.

Where i live we have charter schools where some just leave everything up to the kids to sort out and learn at their own pace, my fiance had to teach one of them who transferred to her school and the kid was fucking useless, couldnt read, write, count or do anything, alot of use that creativity is when they cant even count.

That reminds me of a conversation I had. He was a cashier at a ghetto party store.

He was telling me at least 20% mumbled or spoke so poorly they couldn’t get the service they wanted, then they would get mad.

Imagine being a doctor and dealing with that? Detroit has a 80% dropout rate. And 51% of the blacks are functionally illiterate.

John D. Rockefeller founded the General Education Board in 1903, which is the origin of today's public school system.

“In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply."​ ~ Rev. Frederick T. Gates, Business Advisor to John D. Rockefeller Sr., 1913

Edit: here's a good video of John Gatto explaining the purpose of the public school system... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeEWPbTad_Q

Whites at their full potential would mean extinction of the joos, so yeah they can't stand the thought.

This study doesn't mean show what the headline states unless they compared the public school group to a homeschool group or another group of non-public-schooled children. Given the information the reader has, it might mean that as we age we just lose creativity as our brains change.

I didn’t need a study to tell me that. I was homeschooled and still notice a very big difference with how I process things and solve problems vs how public schooled people do. Public school shuts people down to be obedient robots.
