Creativity could not and should not be limited by human imposed guidelines seen widely in the education system. If we impose the guidelines on a subject matter, then would it be creative? Had we not thought of it already and so impose the guidelines to set the boundaries for their imaginations to roam?
The students’ creative expressions will be very limited in that area, and if carefully scrutinzed and examined, “creativity” could be even said as not even involved in the learning process. The grading and the importance of our grades further reinforces the guidelines; the "correctness" held in belief by the system.
In an interview with 10'000 secondary students islandwide, 98% of the respondents say that the schools promote creativity less, but instead enforces stricter rules. 76% of the 98% of those who said so, said once more that it was too stifling for creative expressions. This clearly show the opinions of the students about this issue, most rather preferring much more free rein than now.*
