Which should be emphasized: knowledge or creativity?
Knowledge or creativity, which is primary? So many people have asked
the question.
According to a recently survey, mere 55% parents think essential
knowledge is more important for their children. They point that knowledge is
the basic of everything, without which it’s utterly impossible to develop one’s
creativity. Besides that, the relationship of knowledge and creativity is input and
output. Last but not least, focusing on the basic will make you patient, make
you dig out the essential part of things.
But opposed to the parents, 85% educators are for that creativity play a
vital role in the socialization of children. Frankly, I agree with them more. The
fact that we face demand us to emphasize the creativity. Date back to the past,
our ancestors made many wonderful achievements. They discovered some
math theories hundreds years before western scientists. The reason why we lag
behind today lies in we lack of the creativity today. In schools, students are
stuffed with piles of knowledge under the pressure of fierce competition. Many
young people lose their chances to enter college just because of one early
failure in a stupid examination. But practically speaking, how can they show
their true abilities?
Creativity is the key to a brighter future. Fortunately we have learned the
point, and many workable reforms are being carried out. In most schools,
students are actively involved in the class activities. For sake of the Chinese
children, Creativity is in need.
