Chapter 5: Brian Glosh
There have been numerous studies that show that creativity is just as important as math and science. Its the difference between using the left or the right side of your brain, and both parts needs to taught. Although it may not make you a lot of money, being creative can allow you to stand out in a crowd that is receiving more Doctorate degrees than ever recorded. Everyone has the ability to get the highest degree, to research any topic, but the creative ones will make sure that they are spotlights in an otherwise mob of people. We really do need to look at our education system and understand why students are not getting smarter, yet we keep testing them more and more, forcing them to work harder and harder, but nothing is improving. Maybe its time to look at other systems of education that work, and try to model their behavior.
