Opinion Paragraph:

Schools should give more importance to creative subjects. Lately it is becoming more popular the theory of multiple talents or capacities in education. That is a great point against the traditionl way of teaching at schools, which gave a speacil importance to subjects like mathematics, history, grammar... and children were taugh to do things in a determined way, almost automatically.This, appart from killing creativity in kids, provoke frustration in those ones who have another way of understanding or other kind of habilities. Therefore, it is important to promote subjects that favor the development of originality such as painting, music or literature. These  subjects help the students work up their personalities as they offer them an infinite amount of possibilities of doing something which will be extremly usefull for them in a futur when they will have to find a job, because specially nowadays with so much competition, having innovative ideas can make the difference. There are many the benefits in the development of creativity in young people and if society were more concerned about it we would have more cultural richness and people would be happier working on what they really like. Quoting Robin Williams ''Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are nobel pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance...these are what we stay alive for.''
