So, some people are thinking that in our education system, we are destroying creativity. In Ken Robinson's TED talk, he really goes into detail about how our education system is killing creativity. Which I do have to agree with this point.
During all of his talking, Robinson tells a story of a girl who couldn't sit still and couldn't learn. The teachers told this girls parents that she had a learning disorder. When taken to the doctor, the doctor simply told her mother that she's a dancer. Moral of the story is that she became one of the best dancers ever.
Anyway, as I drift off into another tangent, the moral is that if she would have been put on some kind of medication, she would've never figured out that she was an amazing dancer. Also, during this time, dance was not taught in school (and its still not taught today). In my opinion, these kinds of fine arts should be required in school because everyone can be this musically talented if they start out young and are educated into it, kind of like a math or a science. If these things were taught normally like math and english and what not, they would become more like common sense and everyone would do them.
Being in music, I have seen everyone usually in music seem to be more smart. And to be honest, I'm not sure why. They always say that people in music makes them smarter. I do see it, I just don't know how to analyze it. But yes, fine arts should be a requirement in each educational year.
