One possibility is there isn't much to be creative about. Some societies remained in the Stone Age without much education other than ostensive training in such as hacking out canoes from trees. The vast majority of entertainment and the internet is consumed with the naff, suggesting any lives it reflects and is aimed at seek distraction rather than engagement. Gabby's why phase occurs in communities that remain stone age too. Schools are very convenient repositories for kids - perhaps really a form of modern wet-nursing. They run on fear. You more or less have to send your kids to school and generally about 7% are sent to private institutions or venues created by house prices and such to ensure an elite route.
Creativity seems to fail us in thinking of something better. We don't even remember much of the experience ourselves, or be able to assess what of schooling we use in work and activities we might enjoy. There is creative work going on but we don't seem interested in it as a public. We can't even build homes for people to live in without exasperation through economics. Could education actually be part of depriving us of individuality and collectivism at the same time?
