"The most important thing for us as Teachers is to encourage
and stimulate the students individual creative spirits" says Tetsuo
Harada. |

Creativity is something that can truly be provoked, stimulated and
trained. It's instrumental never to allow a style or temperament to
become dominant in class. There must be room for many different temperaments.
And we spur the students to always, always try even their wildest ideas
in realilty, even if they are totally unreaistic. And even if the result
ends up to a disaster, they must come to school, stand up in front
of the class and show what they have done. A year later, they will
have acquired the skills to execute it successfully. Often it is disasters
that are most educational. If you don't have any disasters, you simply
haven't tried enough. Says Tetsuo Harada |

One of the finest experiences with working as a teacher is realizing
the creativity isn't a gift from God. With very few exceptions, it's
those who work hardest who become best and most successful. Says Tetsuo
Harada. |

The reaction from the students is always surprise over they are how
capable they actuallly are - and, even more, how talented everybody
else is. Can you imagine a better start to an education - findind out
that you have a big capacity, that your are in a great class, and that
you have gotten to know a lot of fun, talented and interesting people
already ?. Says Tetsuo Harada |
