Does creativity still matter?

In today's atmosphere of standard-driven education, many teachers feel that there is no time for the most valuable aspects of learning in the classroom.

In this article, one veteran teacher explains why he felt the need to leave the teaching profession after 40 years in the classroom.

Do you agree with him?
Reading about his approach to teaching gave me goosebumps.  I'm sad to see someone so dedicated to education so oppressed by standardized testing and common core.
