Thinkering School Imagination

229 Words1 Page

My whole life I have heard it said that children have better imagination than adults, is it because children take in imagination as adults are attempted to find maturity? Or is it because children are not embarrassed to show it? Is it that children have better ideas when it comes to having fun?

    972 Words  | 4 Pages

    Introduction In the movie “Big”, Tom Hanks plays a 12-year old child who turns into a grown man overnight and suddenly makes a career due to his unrestricted and childlike creative ideas (Telegraph, 2005). In spite of the exaggerated illustration, this notion of the naïve and unlimited imagination of children has widespread implications on the perception of creativity amongst scientists. Whilst Freud (1985) already assigned artistic individuals a form of behavioural disorder as they failed to suppress their puerile and playful instincts, Amabile (1982) argues that this inclination is inherited amongst most children and only driven out by social norms when growing up. Following this argument, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos recently stated that the

    Should middle school students have recess? Middle school students should not have recess at all. This is because they need to grow and mature, they could get distracted from their missing work, and there is more of a chance to get hurt. You may think differently, but there is no denying the facts that prove my opinion. Middle school is a time in a kids life where they have more responsibilities, yet still are allowed to be a child.
