Creativity and Education


I didn’t know this comedian, but I really enjoyed his routine. I think that He says a lot of fun things, but is very interesting at the same time.
Today, in our society are are much undervalued the skills related with the creativity of people.
The majority of the people think that is very nice to see someone with such skills to the arts, but not valued the same way that this person takes this as a hobby, or when this person want to study it seriously, and live by this art.
I feeling very close this thought because I think that in the case of Chile, this problem is repeated in all teaching areas that are not very traditional.
For example, our career is not considered very traditional (as could be , for example , laws or medicine), and I think that more than any of us should have questioned for to come into this carrier , this because of the alleged risks of employability , and this is risky.
But all of us here, decided to take the "risk" because we know that is more important the real vocation of each person, before you do mathematical calculations about the money that you will get by working.
In my opinion when you are happy with what you do , and take place in this, the money will come as a reward and in a natural way, like something we rewarded for doing what you really dream of.
but unfortunately, our society is not educated in this type of thinking.
I think it's an important point, and that it isn’t even taking much into account in current debates and protests that there is about the struggle to improve education.
Maybe We have been preoccupied with issues that are important too, such as education funding, but we have left a bit aside the worry that every person can develop each skill and creativity into our education system
