Do Schools Kill Creativity?

Well, personally, I think that not only the schools kill creativity, it's a phenomenon of the education in general.

Schools are only a reproduction of an education system that promotes a hierarchical relationships between students and teachers and that limits the potential of students, because they have to must obey the teacher. The school doesn't encourage students to think for themselves, it's more important that they listen and obey the teacher rather they will be active agents of knowledge who are receiving.

I believe that today the school underestimated the creative ability of students and make education as a mechanical process in which students memorize and reproduce the information they receive, and on very rare occasions have the opportunity to participate effectively as active elements in the process of knowledge.
