Creativity in class

First of all, creativity is production, and not reproduction. It is fun but not very easy to come up with, and it is NOT magic.
Creativity is not that hard, but you just have to think different. on the right is a  picture I thought was creative.
There are myths like drugs and alcohol enhance creativity, structures are not good for creativity, and deadlines, fear and money encourage creativity. Studying for Modern Standardized tests is bad for creativity.
Also, it is claimed that money, prizes, and compliments damage creativity. At last, John Cleese stated that distractions such as phone damage creativity too.
Teachers don't like it when beginners are too creative so don't answer something creative like the ceiling and a bug when a teacher asks you wha't up.
Teachers should praise a student's effort and strategy, and not the intelligence. They should also help students see the big picture.
