So schools kill creativity?

Hello everybody!
First, I want to remember that we are in difficult times: long strike is coming, January classes also, and the free education? Someday… I hope.
Speaking of education, in the class saw an interesting video (very funny, really), I laughed a lot with him but that does not mean that the video does not make sense. In fact, this video reminded me many truths about the archaic educational system. This video is called ‘Sir Ken Robinson's talk "Do Schools Kill Creativity?"’
The title is a question and I have an answer long ago: YES! THIS education kills creativity, but not only creativity, kills the freedom.
This education this education destroys the real person and makes robots or worse: professionals without passion, metrosexuals, etc. Because this education is reproduction of the market.
The video mentions the invention of ADHD and how it was used to control the education. A shame for psychiatry and psychology...

Finally, I think it's very important to emphasize the task of psychologists in education. Our work is an academic and practical work because we need to know and understand our subject to implement in the society. Psychology can do much for education.
