Teaching creativity
Years ago I participated in an faculty committee reviewing undergraduate requirements for medical students.
Of course, there was a lot of discussion about science and math courses. But I advocated for the requirement for arts and music based on the idea that once entered medical / dental school, there was little or no time left for students to explore the fine arts. Now, I'm distressed that our public schools are short-changing students due to budget cuts, and the fine arts are not doing well in the competition for teacher-time and effort and funding Yesterday, our Oregon Public Broadcasting had an episode about teaching creativity in schools. Maybe this is happening in your school systems, but if it is not I believe it should be. FYI before you watch the program here Prineville is a old, small town in Central Oregon - ranching, timber, cattle, sheep Rex Putnam is a Portland high school being hit by extreme budget cuts |
