People can do more, people want to do more, but they are not allowed to do more. Why?
It’s a well-known fact that every child is creative. We can talk for hours what our baby does that's funny and how originally he tells stories. But the older he becomes the more rarely we note this kind of creative demonstration. And not so often people pay attention to the development of a child’s imagination.
Probably, it is an issue of the day.
It seems to me that it is a grave disadvantage of our educational system. The main meaning of this problem lies in the word «system». Yes, every system restricts the person. But the point is how we can manage the system that will teach a person and will give him freedom at the same time.
So, how do we know when we have to leave the rules and to give free rein to a person? Where is the verge between the system and the freedom? Or, more precisely, when does system of freedom begin? We have to develop the program that allows children to open inner creativity.
I suppose the most primary goal of education is to teach children how to think. And, actually, that’s the only thing we are able to show them. For this part it should be a system. It is not so complicated, as it seems. Adults just have to discuss with small people everything what interests and troubles them. It’s good for children to use the method of question-answer. And, eventually, children will see the world and they will choose their own way of thinking.
Also, a lot of things depend on explanations of the teacher. What do I mean? Every person needs a unique individuality the same as every system needs a personal approach. Any the most outstanding system is nothing in comparison with own investments of man in it. All the time we have to reorganize every system by our individual, because this code of rules means nothing without personality.
Only if a man burn with something, he can awake somebody’s interest. You are in power to impart not only your knowledge, but the essential principle is involvement. And after this a man can study by himself.
But on the other hand of the problem, we can not let educational process as it might because excessive freedom weakens people. It seems for them that they can do everything, but the more restriction is established the more human ingenuity does. The mind begins to seek an interesting ways to invent something.
It very similar to the process when a person has some difficulties in his life and these problems is forced him to seek a right solution. So, if he thinks, he plays so many various decisions of the situation. It helps man to understand and to realize more than he knows before.
Thus, how can we develop skills of child’s creativity thinking? How can we give the rights to the child for his own freedom? Very frequently we hear about inability of people to think. Is it possible to teach a man to think or it is only a natural ability?
Every system has to have a degree of freedom, especially when it is a question of child’s creativity. The freedom that I’m talking about is laziness. It’s a lull before doing something crucial. Laziness is a work, but it can be invisible for other people. Simply it’s a period when ideas come.
I think the main goal is to open the really nature of person, but not to study everything. We don’t have to demand a standard from a child. People often waste time for unnecessary things. And these unless work prevents them to see what they really can. We just have to understand what talents a person has. How many capabilities remain hidden from us?
So, we should attempt to keep an empty space for our free laziness. But it’s an exclusive circle. Any system prevents freedom and freedom prevents a system. However, the right teacher is someone who doesn’t prevent a person’s process.
I really want that creative way of thinking to become a system for everybody.
