about changing the view point of any type of creativity we have in our world, and teaching kids to use them to express themselves.

The elementary school I went to had art cut out by the time I was out of kindergarden, music was there but all we did was sing. We need something that can bring creativity to everyone, no matter where they live, what school they go to, or what they wish to learn. I am not sure exactly how to do this, after all I am what most people call a dreamer, but I need to know how can we make this possible.

  Jan 18 2012: I wished that was what they promoted when I was in elementary instead of focusing on the routines needed to pass that state mandated exams, though now my school focuses on the way we learn and tries to help us get our ideas across whether it be pen or aloud.
