Do schools kill the creativity of the kids?

Do schools kill kid's creativity? I had never wondered this question, but, if you think a bit about it, you can conclude that actually they do this normally. Since we are childrens, teachers want us that we memorize some texts and pages of the books and then we have to say in the exam the same as we had read before. Kinds are plenty of creativity and this medium doesn't stimulate their imagination. I think that as long as you understand what you are studying, this way of learn is OK and you can learn so much, but I sometimes consider that this mechanism kill the creativity of kids, because it not allow them to think by themselves. It is true that there are some subjects which promote creativity and imagination because they allow you to think by yourself and have your own opnions and ways to see some things. Some of these subjects are art, and the older we make the more creative are subjects, like citizenship, ethic and philosophy,(that are when we are teenagers)  Moreover, in the modality of Bachillerato "Bachillerato of scenic and plastic arts", the creativity of the students is very important. To sum up, I believe that the creativity in schools it isn't taken into account most of the time, but there are exceptions.
