So this is so interesting 'cause this is like not not a common concept that you'd you'd have

So I'm really interested in this.

So one of the things I'm gonna say that I I was thinking is is this part of it?

So one of the

There's b there's behavioural stuff.

There's the things that you just don't sort of

Tell your fr tell your teacher.

How they look, you know, because then you'd perceive that to be rude, or that you don't shout out, you understand that there are social cues, and so you can manage your behaviours in that way.

But is it also to do with so one of the one of the things I was thinking when I read was reading this was the very famous Ken Robinson video where he talks about schools killing creativity, which a lot of people sort of clap their hands over.

But I I've learnt to sort of

hate it really 'cause I feel it just tells a terrible story about school.

But he has this example of

Paper clips and how like children under

four or something, can come come up with like hundreds of uses of a paper clip.

But by the time they're eight, they they sort of only have a few.

And I'm and I'm thinking

But that's not 'cause schools kill their creativity, it's because

Most of the ideas they had were really silly and I just thought, well that's not really how you use a paper clip.

It's not really a spaceship.

Um it's just that's not real.
