Are Today's Students Less Creative?
| A recent Newsweek article reported that, in the past decade, U.S. student scores on creativity tests have dropped steadily. Are students really less creative than they were 10 years ago and, if so, WHY? |

| I think that creativity in students has lessened to some degree because children are not given the opportunity to be creative with the down time it takes to be able to dream. They live in a much more structured/scheduled world today.

| Our students are creative for what they want to do......my statement is: Students today are not the problem solvers of yesterday......why is that?

| Students today are just as creative as past students. However, because the way they learn has evolved, we often don't give them a chance to let their creativity shine. When the teaching style matches their learning style - look out!

| Absolutely not. I think kids are redefining what creative means. We think of creativity as a right-brain, left-brain thing and it's no longer like that. Kids are utilizing technology for creating instead of traditional mediums with which people used to express their creativity.
