The experience that I have so far in the education system is pretty much that it kills creativity. To me one of the source of the problem is that most evaluation and work we do in school are made to be solved in one and only way. And when you manage to do something creative out of it, nobody notice and it just passes as if it was something normal. It seriously kills your motivation to find more creative solution. After 3 month in CEGEP* in a computer science program, I lost all my motivation to try to do better stuff. I even had final project where my team wanted to do some very interesting and the teacher did pretty much everything he could to make it flat and boring. That was the most discouraging project I ever did of my life.
