My experience about creativity:
All my K-12 classes taken in Chinese school. When I was in my elementary school, there were an art teacher who were very nice and encourage creativity and imagination. She always gave us a topic, and then let us to drew whatever we want. When we finished our painting everyone need to talk about it. I remember that no matter we were drew a good, bad or strange paining, she always said “that is good, and I like it”. She does not impose anything to us and encourage us use our imagination to create more and more paintings. When I was in high school, my chemistry teacher who was a very preciseness and strict person. She always let us do the homework must follow her way,
