why is it always a problem when a kid wants to be creative? school is not a place for smart people. it teaches you to follow orders and hate work, you don’t get to build your own personality. schools often discourage creativity by prioritizing conformity, standardized testing, and academic performance, which can hinder students from exploring their passions and expressing their creative ideas freely. Ellen has proven time and time again that she is a very conforming and uncreative person so she obviously would have to stick to the set path that school puts you on. creatives like Nate find more paths to success because of creativity. The comparison between Nate and Ellen is like trying to get tropical fish and the average tuna to swim like in a school. The tropical fish is an individual who lives with a different world view that the hundreds of tuna who swim in a straight line. the tropical fish knows this and decides to swim the many other directions allowed by the ocean we call life.
