Life as a ginger is a blog all about life. Not all just about gingers, but life for everyone else as well. Things in life that are painful or things in life that could get any better. I want to hear from everyone about their lives, while they read along to mine.

Schools Hate Creativity!
After hearing Ken's speech about how schools are killing creativity I was inspired. I wanted to go out and make schools have creative classes. But then I remembered that I go to the Open School and we have more creative classes than most of Jeffco's schools put together. But I still didn't think its fare that schools around our country are cutting art classes out so that they can teach more math. We all understand that we need math, but in my opinion art is just as important. We need art and music to get through life as well. How boring do you think life would be without it? I know that for me life just wouldn't be the same, and I'm not even a very good artiest. So what Ken wanted to get out is just that creative classes are just as important as any other class in school. Ken was just explaining that he believes that kids should have art in school, and just do creative things. I'm after all school is where you mind is supposed to create. Maybe schools could find some way to make art into math.

FINALLY! Thanks, Ginger~ I think you are very creative and artistic. Don't forget, art is NOT just drawing and painting. Look at that poster you whipped together in a matter of minutes. You are more spatial, perhaps. I would LOVE art and math to connect more (architecture, graphic design, etc).
