Creativity

To be frank I never thought, consciously, of creativity as something as I was supposed to encourage as a regular basis. However, I do always ask my students to write stories and perform and record themselves, and I do appreciate when I see their interests and strengths through the different tasks because I can see them motivated  and shinning, which is what we basically want to achieve in our students, or at least me.

Interesting how the lecturer led everything, through humor. Would that be creativity? Not probably something encouraged at school, however, he managed to engage the audience and make his points.

Sadly many parents nowadays are sort of obsessed with their children turning into; doctors or engineers or lawyers, and stressed with the fact that their children do not like school or do not care about their marks. I think then that we as teachers could create different instances to show our students’ interests and strengths, then parents and students themselves will believe and promote these potentials.
