Creative Education in a Cookie-Cutter World.
Creative Vs Cookie Cutter
“…So when I talk about creative education, I’m not talking about lesson plans.
I’m talking about what happens to a child when the system around them doesn’t know what to do with who they are.
Years ago, I watched an educator do something that didn’t make sense on paper. He didn’t throw out structure. He didn’t rebel against standards. He simply refused to believe that learning had to feel lifeless to be effective.”

The kid who won’t sit still?
The one who finishes the assignment sideways?
The one staring out the window like they’re watching a movie nobody else can see?
That kid ain’t broken.
That kid is thinking.
