> Even a kid
I hear such comparisons quite often on discussions like this, and I always wonder… have you seen a kid's idea of "creative"? Even one about to finish school?
One time my geography homework was a cut-out of a photocopy of an encyclopaedia image of Italy, surrounded by notes copied verbatim from that same page, and it got top marks. My GCSE English "creative writing" exercise was a mixture of the empty village in Riven, Pratchett's Granny Weatherwax, and the "oborot" shape-shifting spell from Sabine Baring-Gould’s Book of Were-Wolves. When we were tasked with coming up with our own versions of the witches' brew from Macbeth — why is Shakespeare sill so popular? Don't we have any new ideas? — all the students came up with much the same "new ingredients" as each other.
