Do schools kill creativity?

     In this video, Ken Robinson talking about creativity. His contention is that creativity is as important in education as literacy and we should treated with the same status. Now, more and more parents teach their children not to make mistakes. If they always make mistakes, parents will scold them, they become frightened being wrong. As the time goes by, children will lost their creativity capacity. It is a terrible thing for the children. When they grow up, they will face the difficult to find a job. At past, if you have a Bachelor degree, you can find a good job, but now you want a good job, you need a higher degree than before. 
      I think the schools kill the creativity. From I went to primary school, we were forced to learn what the schools or parents want us to learn. We need to follow the schools' schedule and we cannot change anything. We studied for taking the test. Until now, there are still have millions of the students study for test, not for themselves. I think the schools really influence our creativity. We just allow to do the normal things instead of the creative things. This makes us lost a lot of fun. People should focus on the education, let children have more chance to do some creative things rather than just read the book and follow the schools' schedule. 

Spring Break Began with the Earthquake

    This is my first spring break in California. Before the spring break, I made a lot of plans for the nine days break. I thought I can get a very happy and relax time for myself, however, the spring break began with the earthquake.
        At that night, I was playing ipad games on my bed. Suddenly, I felt a little dizzy. Everything began to shake and some of them fell on the floor. I thought it was a earthquake, but I am not afraid about the earthquake. I went out of my house and talked with my neighbors. After a while, I thought it was safe to go back. Then I found the earthquake did not stop. There were several times of earthquakes at that night, but I didn't run out of home. I just stayed in bed.
        Maybe you are confused about why I am not afraid of the earthquake. The reason is that I have met many times of earthquakes in my hometown. Some of them are similar with this earthquake. In 2008, there was a very big earthquake which happened in Sichuan province of China. Many people lost their lives in that earthquake. Even though my hometown is far from Sichuan, we still fell the hit. 
        When my parents heard about the earthquake, they called me as soon as possible. The earthquake did not make me feel nervous, but really make my parents worried about me. At the same time, I thought it is not a good beginning for the spring break.
