"teachers ruin creativity of students" -debate

blogging after a looooooong time!!! couldn't update this week properly due some personal reasons!! 

the best part of last week's sessions was the debate! it was based on the topic "teachers ruin creativity of students"!! it was rather and interesting topic. i was one of the moderators of the debate along with harshini and hamza. Ms. Manesha was present as the judge. well talking about the debate, most of us thought that it revolved around the "2+2=4" theory brought out by the proposing side. they went on to say that even though teachers tell us that 2+2=4, they don't tell us the reason behind it and so on and EVERY single debater talked about that point which was actually irrelevant, in my opinion. eventually the winning team was the opposing team, but according to the judge, the debaters did not bring out much points to strengthen their arguments, which i thought was true.

there were some real good points for the opposing team that they could have put forward. one was the thing that a member from the audience pointed out, that teachers actually don't have anything to do with creativity because students themselves should think out of the box and develop their creativity. my opinion is that teachers do indeed  help creativity! for example, we were supposed to make something out of discarded items a few days ago, and we saw a lot of different things that students had made! it was actually something creative that we did, because after all we converted garbage into something nicer and useful. this indeed needed some creativity and if our teacher had not given us this chance, this activity, to do at home, then we simply won't even think of turning a piece of garbage to something more!! i think this is a perfect example of how teachers help creativity! they help by giving us a chance, or motivating!

there is also the fact that was brought out that teachers don't understand students, as in the case of Einstein or bill gates, where they were ignored or kicked out because of their creativity. true some teachers will not understand what students try to do but that doesn't mean everyone is like that. we can try by explaining in more simple terms to them or simply going to some other who will actually grasp what we say!! by telling "teachers help creativity" simply means that teachers actually gives the chance for us to discover our hidden talents and skills. its up to us actually to take that chance or leave it. therefore my opinion is that teachers do not ruin creativity of students!!
