Entry: imagination Sep 25, 2006





    I've found this commercial at you tube,very nice. Child's imagination is very unique and misterious in the same time. Their mind is like a white paper, very pure..adult people must give them a chance to explore the world with their unique ways.

    A few years ago, I've heard an interesting story about a child at school. He or she? is an Indonesian. The teacher gave them a work to complete some sentences. One of the instruction is to fill this question,
Father goes to the..........
The child's answer was Father goes to the farm
and the teacher blamed it
because the "normal" answer is "father goes to the office", according to the story, the child's mistake happened not just one time, so the teacher asking the child why he/she always write the same thing even the teacher already told him/her the answer. And the child answered "But my dad is a farmer, he is not going to the office".

    In this kind of situation, we can not blame them and push them to have just one option of an answer for a problem. I think it would be hard for them to be creative and critical about anything. Another interesting thing, do you realize that everytime the teacher demand the students to draw the mountain scenery, mostly of them draw almost in the same way, two nearly mountain with a sun in the middle, and under the mountain, there is a farm and a street accross the farm. Ouhh!!
