Sir Ken Robinson is a creativity expert. In 2006 he gave a TED conference when he told that schools kill creativity.
The exhibition announces the undeniable creativity of the human being, specially on children, because when we're kids, we're capable of using all our imagination and do all sort of things like drawing, dancing or painting. Lamentably, is the education system the one that makes us lose our creativity. How is this possible?
From the beginning of 19th century, the public education system has had a hierarchy on the subjects they teach, where mathematics and languages are in first place, and on the other hand music, drama, dance and all the art subjects are in the last place. Because of this, in these days the purpose of public education is to produce good workers, not people with creativity capacity. This situation is lamentable, because there are so many children with talents (writers, painters, dancers, etc.) that aren't taken advantage of their capacities, so they are forced to learn things in school that don’t make them happy.
This problem on education system also exists in our country. We, the students, learn to memorize, not to think and as a consequence of this, we don’t develop our creative skills. In my opinion this is true, because the school where I studied taught me so many things that weren't so important... that I completely forgot, hahaha!
How can we solve the education system problem? Sir Robinson says that "we have to rethink the fundamental principle on wich we're educating our children". We must to believe that "imagination is a gift, and we have to be careful now that we use this gift wisely".
The school has the duty to foment creativity, delivering an education that combines and gives equal importance to mathematics, languages, sciences and arts. This is how children, will become great persons in the near future.

Good, Karina.
But you don´t say, "lamentably". You say,
"unfortunately". Also, don´t say, "Must to believe". Just, "Must BELIEVE"
Don´t say, "If you think like Sir Ken Robinson," Say, "If you are interested in knowing more about...."
