Teaching creativity

It doesn't require an unberable burden of resources to introduce elementary school children to classical music, teach them who Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart are. Teach them how to sing do re mi fa so la ti do. Show them what a color wheel is and how it works. What the primary and secondary color are. These are basic things that just require someone to consider them important enough for us to put an hour of the school day aside to show the children these things. Give them the chance to develop an interest.

All of these things I am doing at home, but every parent isn't going to do that.
