@scottalanmiller it depends on your definition of "creativity". If you have a badly managed and crowded classroom, BUT a driven individual, creativity is born in the same vein as "necessity is the mother of invention".
So creativity along mainstream lines, there might be some numbness among the masses we define as moving with the other krill waiting to be force filtered through the baleen. On the other flipper, you get those who start by drawing outside the lines and go from there.
A class or two that involves popsicle sticks, glue, string and other things might lead to some people fabricating interesting things. Upgrade them to shop class with the full benefits of wood, metal, solder and spare parts and you have the workings of a leader, not a follower.

This video actually helped to remind me that when L#1 doesn't feel like sitting at her desk and doing the schoolwork that I want her to do, letting her get up and play with her toys is just fine, especially at this age. If I try to push the desk work too much, we both end up frustrated and annoyed with each other. If we have a day where all we do is calendar time and a reading lesson, more often than not, the next day she is eager to sit and complete every worksheet and subject I have prepared, often wanting to do far more than I have available. She and I are discovering how we "do school" together.

Last checked, it is the most popular TED talk ever. Even years old (it is from 2006), still relevant.
