Introduction
This report focuses on developing an unsolicited proposal for solving a problem in schools and addressing the audience. It consists of five parts including problem faced by schools and what is the significance of the problem. Second part is benefit by solving that particular problem, followed by solution available and its feasibility on the problem. Fourth part include objections that can come up while implementation of the plan. The last part of the report is recommendation, the best course of action plan that can adopt by the authority, solving the problem faced by the schools.
Problem
Students today have problems accepting that their chosen education and passion may not be ‘useful’ in the market today. The way, subjects being teach degrades human creativity and intelligence, which go hand-in-hand together. Schools stuff is a great amount of information into the students and it assumes that student will pass the exam or assessment, and after that, the students have to push it aside and start mugging in a whole lot of other information to pass the subject. In addition, half of what the students learn is almost unimportant. Schools not at all focus on knowledge and skill development.
Education systems are inherently bureaucracies - they involve hiring and managing large numbers of people in order to educate far larger numbers of student. Rarely, students have given wide-open space, in which to learn to exercise creative thinking. More and more lessons cut into tiny little bits so students forced to become paperwork pushers rather than thinkers. The problem is schools are massive creative killers now a day. Exams are a huge problem as they stifle creativity and force students to absorb knowledge based on a uniform mark scheme instead of exploring it for them.
This does result in students optimized for exams but not for solving problems creatively. Teachers are under a lot of pressure to get their classes up to scratch with good grades. Good grades mean that the school is more successful, hence better prospects for teachers. This means that teachers are more likely to spend more time focusing on exams, rather than taking time to engage in lengthy, in depth discussion with their students. Creativity is an interesting, and abstract notion. Every child has some levels of creativity; however, only a few are really willing to go out-of-box and can be considered exceptionally creative (Gallagher, 2019).
In many of the schools, extra curriculum is still not their priority. Schooling has been concerned to teach only populace skills that are reading, writing, arithmetic and basic citizen manners. Schools are the part of elementary learning in every child’s life. Creativity and inventive thinking are need for tomorrow. Schools are progressive to score good marks in assessments or exams, not in building creativity. Moreover, even if somehow they have some extracurricular and transformational activities, it gets very less share on the entire academic portfolio. Intelligence based of subjects such Mathematics and Science will not make country progressive.
Creativity cannot teach in four walls, specific subject that children have to excel and under strict behavioral pattern to follow. Even after some child got different perception and inventive idea, it is pretty much sure that child will get outcast from the school. Child’s confidence will get low as his/her classmates will mock and teachers will not support him/her. As educational practices becoming more independent, creativity is being taken out of the picture arts are less valued. For enhancing and building creativity in the schools, we do not need regular subject teacher but a creative practitioner from time to time.
There is new scope of opportunities beyond schooling and passing exams. Schools need to focus on that, not just to make their student as academic topper but also inventive thinker and highly creative ones. More than half of the children in schools struggled in learning and forced to mug up the facts. Every child is different from other and as passing years, the creative values and learning are killed. By the time student reach to high school, h/she is force remove all dance, arts and extracurricular activities and advised to, religiously follow academic propaganda to get good marks.
Benefits
Creative thinking is the piece that comes up with possible solutions and also builds on the ideas of others to create previously unknown solutions. Once the creative side has identified possible solutions, the critical thinking side now evaluates the proposals to determine which will solve the problem in the way that will best meet the requirements outlined by the problem. It is the mental engine for the biggest ‘what if’ assembly of thoughts anyone could ever have. The critical side allows us to get down to minute detail to see what is really going on. It is our mind’s microscope and our internal vision would be greatly hampered without it. Creativity helps to expand student’s knowledge of things and test.
If children want to learn something, their whole life without ever knowing how to use it in creative ways, their knowledge on things would be limited and their answers would always be related to the answers in the textbook. This is the reasons why should teachers encourage their students to try to answer questions even if child does not know it by heart yet (Gallagher, 2019). Creativity is important in schools, it is as important as salt is food. It helps to make learning as fun. It encourages student to understand easily with creating interest in it. Creative classrooms give children not...
