Paper #3 Idea

For the final project of this class, I chose the poem titled “School Note” by Audre Lorde. This poem, I believe, speaks to the treacherous hellhole known as school. Whether it be through horrid teachers, a ridiculous curriculum, or a restrictive environment, the lower education system of America has become notorious for repressing the creative sparks of children, ultimately shooting them and the country’s future into a downward spiral. As a back up to this argument, I shall bring to the reader’s attention an article titled “The Creativity Crisis” from Newsweek. With these two sources in hand, I shall prove my thesis that today’s school system is not adequately equipped to propel our country into a prosperous future due to its inability to nurture creative minds.
