Creative school impact

In response to a comment about US education.

It's worse than just science education. We only beginning to understand what "creative" school did to our kids and K-12.

Once I asked my son "And what did you learn today in your creative school?" He misheard me and answered "It's not that cretinnic!"

Abandonment of Phonics systems resulted in functional illiteracy when high school graduates can only read words they remembered as whole sysmbols, just like Chinese hieroglyphs. They often just cannot make a bunch of letters into a word they know.

"Stupid" insistence of old school on good writing (yes, calligraphy!) and memorization of long poems was not stupid at all. With new discoveries on brain plasticity we began to realise that it was developing important areas of kids' brains critical to their functioning in modern society.

With creative school we literally dumbened our kids to Stone Age. After that, lack of interest to science is kind of understandable
