Egg, I don't get what you're driving at. Are you suggesting that we shouldn't teach students to be creative, because 90% of them are gonna end up working as computer programmers anyway, so what's the point, why disappoint them? Sounds pretty cynical to me. I think there's no doubt that education in this country has been geared towards learning in a really non-creative way, and purposing kids towards a life in industry or at the very least something that supports industry. I know this from my own job, which is all about educating kids--trying to suggest covering material in a creative way is considered "new-agey", "American bullshit" and "faffy shit" (actual words used). Pretty depressing coming from education professionals.
