Should teachers enforce strict rules to maintain order or allow flexibility to foster creativity?
Allow flexibility to foster creativity. Strict rules stunts natural growth for learners, increases resistance to follow through, and can lead to unhappiness
Jonathan Wong Well said—flexibility nurtures ownership and creativity, which are vital for meaningful and lasting learning.
Teachers should allow flexibility to foster creativity. Creativity never comes out of a strict environment. The child's soul is like artist. They can not be bound on cages. It creates barriers in their confidence and smooth functioning as well. As a Child Protection Practitioner, I concentrated on the child's environment of living. Any shouting, strict rules by family members, created chaos in their minds. They turned into an overthinker, which will hurt them in the long run.
Anindita Das Mimi You’ve expressed it beautifully—children thrive in environments where they feel safe, heard, and free to explore. Strictness may control behavior temporarily, but it often stifles imagination and long-term emotional growth. As you rightly pointed out, fostering creativity requires flexibility and a nurturing atmosphere that allows a child’s inner world to flourish, not shrink.
Чрезмерная строгость сковывает творчество, не позволяя экспериментировать, что чрезвычайно важно для развития.
Эльман Джамбетов
Полностью согласен. Без пространства для ошибок и экспериментов творчество теряет свою живость. Развитие невозможно без свободы пробовать новое, даже если это иногда ведёт к неудачам — ведь именно они часто становятся источником настоящих прорывов.
I completely agree. Without room for mistakes and experimentation, creativity loses its vitality. Progress is impossible without the freedom to try new things, even if it sometimes leads to failures — because those very failures often become the source of true breakthroughs.
