Do you agree or disagree ? Write your argument for it in not more than 50-words.

Greetings Sanjay. I disagree. I think it's the opposite. We come across excellent teachers who are also creative geniuses. George Machlan is one :-)

In fact, WiZiQ teachers are taking teaching to a whole new creative level. George calls it Edupunk and I can say it rocks!

I am yet to assess the scope of your topic, but, are you pointing out the demerits of learning by rote? Teachers wilfully distribute handouts to students so that they can clear the papers by mugging up the answers. Yeah, that hints at the lack of creativity in making the learners understand the concepts. Right Sanjay Sir?

Sanjay, the following statement reasoned by two brains:

I laughed my a** off!

Left brain - Oh how sad.  Did you live?

Right brain - Share the laugh with me!

In fact we need both brains.  Unfortunately, scientific mindset and academia generally defer to a left brain dominant solution to the detriment of all.  Very few accept with open arms the right brain due to its emotional, emotive, non-linear nature.

Wow Jag, I haven't seen you in months. It is nice to know that team WizIQ is behind me. I continue to tell outsiders that the truly great aspect of WizIQ is their totally open approach to the portal, where anyone can teach AND the great staff.

Sanjay, for a number of reasons I agree with you. But possibly not for the standard assumptions. They are the best because they had to give up on their creativity to continue to minister to students within the antithesis of true learning. I am out of 50 words but know this, creativity is a right-brain and heart function. There is a place in this world for such things, just not in conventional institutions.

My creativity flowered within the WizIQ garden. The seeds were the students who encouraged me and the ferilizer was the manure of conventional teacher's droppings and the sun is and will be the hopes that the internet and freedom's energy provides.

The only question I have, is two fold...

Am I being creative or innovative. You should probably refine your question a little.

If it is creative, then is it mine or the students who inform my right-brain receptors to respond?

Best teachers based on what students feedback or theoretical sense... If its former than the statement is true, if latter than u r not...
