text: Allowing a child to express their creativity is the single best way to get to know them and see what they are best at. For example for Generic_Name's summer project Mrs. Generic_Name let all of her students choose what they wanted to do for their project, and when school rolled around she was amazed with how thoughtful all the projects were. If Mrs. Generic_Name would have given the students a specific project they would all be boring and bland due to the fact that the students would have to follow a long list of directions. If teachers always put so many restrictions on all the students work it will never allow for them to grow and flourish to their full potential. Another examples for Mr. Generic_Name summer photography project, he allowed all of his students to bring him pictures of whatever they wanted, that year Mr. Generic_Name said he had gotten the best photos he had gotten in years. Because Mr. Generic_Name did not put his students in a box, it allowed them to all work with their strengths to get the best pictures they possibly could. If Mr. Generic_Name would have given the students specific directions of the photos he wanted they would have not came out as amazing because all the students would have the pressure off getting the exact picture that was being asked for, instead of their work coming naturally. Allowing creativity to flow through students work really allows them to flourish into their best selves.
