I am a developer and have no students so I voluntold (an eminently expressive word from a Canadian-Ukrainian friend) my Grade 10 son as participant. Before the discussion, he read the creativity card from a set of virtues. As a starting point, I asked him to rank the core subject’s level of creativity. He graded math and science as low, social as moderate, and language arts as high. He mentioned that math and science in particular are mostly repetition and it is very easy to get high marks without being creative.
He values the level of creativity in his Computer Production Technology (CPT) course as he finds the assignments challenge his creativity. He sees opportunities for other subjects to challenge his creativity the same way CPT does.
