Countries should not require all students to study the same national curriculum. If every child were presented with the same material, it would be assumed that all children learn the same and that all teachers are able to teach the same material in the same way. In addition to overlooking differences in learning and teaching styles, it would also stifle creativity and create a generation of drones. Uniformity would also lend itself to government interference in curricula that could lead to the destruction of democracy. If every teacher were forced to teach a certain text, the government would only need to change that text to misinform an entire generation. Finally, a standardized curriculum would also have negative effects on students from lower classes. Having a national curriculum implies that there is a set of things worth learning for every person. Perhaps this is true, but for students it creates a world in which there is a finite amount of knowledge to be acquired for the purpose of regurgitating it on a test. Teaching a standard curriculum does not encourage questions; it doesn't push students to ask questions like, "Why?" and “How? The real purpose of school is to teach people to learn, not simply teach them a set of facts. By teaching them to learn, students can continue to do so, they can extend skills from one area of ​​knowledge to another. This type of learning fosters creativity that can be used not only in math, science or English, but also in art, music or creative writing. Teaching a brain to go beyond being a file of facts is the best way to teach creativity. Too often it is believed that creativity is something that only concerns the arts. It is creativity that leads to innovation, and it is innovation that has produced humanity's greatest achievements in the sciences and humanities.
