I WAS a nerd and had no creativity. Now, I’m not obsessing about grades(although i still get A’s, i don’t freak when i get a B). Now, my creativity is coming back.

that was the most boring thing i have ever seen. no offense i guess.
okay, they don’t …
okay, they don’t have to pay attention to you, and you don’t have to pay attention to them. Unless you have a strong forte, what are you going to do? Honestly, I’ve taught myself everything, and the time I spent in school was a waste, but I stayed because they said it would be worth it. Look at community colleges with programs around you or find something. Staying there = rot.

A perfect example of how teachers could and probably should be like

Do schools kill creativity? If creativity was a person schools would be it’s concentration camp! I think that young people are going through a creativity holocaust perpetrated by teachers especially ones who hate their jobs. Everyone who agrees this is a disgusting inconvenient truth give me a thumbs up. BTW I’m only twenty years old and I understand this.

Hah, I was told in school to stop reading. Not like, at the end of a class; in general. “You will bring books to school…” the teacher said. Seriously, no reading allowed.
Its not just …
Its not just teachers; its the system, the basic assumptions of education. The whole purpose of school is to inculcate societally desired knowledge and habits (reading, maths, punctuality, conformity…) through homogeneous learning. That says nothing about whether the individual being taught has any interest or ability in those fields, and ignores a swathe of creative and individualistic character traits.
geood point, i …
geood point, i agree completely
It depends on the …
It depends on the teacher, many teachers as the one mentioned by Mr.RObinson ABOUND! They are incompetent teachers and they eo have the power over the minds of youngsters, regardless of the institution they are in. You can find excellent teachers in the Public System, as well as in the private one, and viceversa, the bad ones too.
Hahaha

a school where they say no drawing in class which is mine is destroying creativity around the country but im just saying if all schools were like mine… about 4/6 of my schools in the past 5 years did say no drawings in class… so i disagree with what you have to say
