Which should be emphasized in education,knowledge or creativity?
D:Hey girls,I want to ask you a question,which should be emphasized in education,knowledge or creativity?
A:Knowledge,of course.As a saying goes,knowledge changes fate,it’s the basic of creativity.That’s why the nine-year compulsory education can be one of our important policies.
B:I don’t think so.Creativity is the key to a brighter future,say education and business experts.Now schools and parents are eager to encourage this vital skill in children.they want children to do something ,such as class experiments,to build up their sense of creativity.
C:But,please attention,if you don’t have knowledge,it’s just like building a house without foundation.As your knowledge is accumulated day by day,many excellent ideas will come into your mind.
D:But don’t you think it’s just creativity that gives birth to the scientist Edison,who invented bubble for all human beings.
A:Good ideas strike many people,only those who are knowledgeable can make them come true.Without knowledge,Edison will be a dreamer,not a scientist.In that case,knowledge seems more important than creativity.
B:As we all know,successful students and adults are the ones who discover a number of ways to approach problems.Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce original ideas that are good for something,such as thinking and language skills.
C:In our society,knowledge is the power.Without knowledge,you don’t know how to write an essay; you don’t know how to get the keys to mathematic problems; you can’t get experience from the history.In a word,you can do nothing without knowledge.
D:Yes,I think what you said is right.But now in schools and families,educators and parents are recognizing the problems that children are lack of creativity and they are always depend on their parents and teachers,so now they are developing approaches to encouraging creativity in children.As we can see,they have been attached great importance to creativity in education.
A:OK!OK!We have to admit that both knowledge and creativity are the necessity for success,so let’s try our best to combine them well.
