@ morning_star- i never said it was wrong. In fact the researchers in the article would agree that art schools already posses the needed creativity that they want to teach in schools...
"Researchers say creativity should be taken out of the art room and put into homeroom."
in other words art students already possess these needed creative skills that the business world desire. All the many art schools around the world, exploding with creativity and they want to harness it. So they want to give the "uncreative" people the creativity? Why not boost the people who are already creative? People like you, I, and the people on QBN who are already creative. Do numbers, facts and figures inspire or even teach you to be more creative?
Creativity is not on a "downfall" then. In fact, I believe it's been on a rise ever since man drew on walls. If I score 100 kids one year, and again in ten years on creativity, I'm bound to get different results based on the types of people. Not everyone possesses the skills of the creative. People like Van Gogh died a poor man before anyone could realize how awesome he was. But then again, how in the world do you score creativity?
So the facts in the article were left up for interpretation and not for inspiration so I thought it was boring. There are lots of creative people in this world as art schools keep pouring thousands of them out every year.
