grade, the fewer
children raised
their hands…
Every school I

creative genius”.

Most people are born creative.Aschildren, we revel
in imaginary play, ask outlandish questions, draw
blobs and call them dinosaurs. But over time,
because of socialization and formal education, a
lot of us start to stifle those impulses. We learn to
be warier of judgment, more cautious, more
analytical. The world seems to divide into
“creatives” and “noncreatives,” and too many
people consciously or unconsciously resign
themselves to the latter category.
