This is a word that often used when it comes to writing, dancing, painting etc. It is the same with 'art'. But in my opinion both of those words are more general. I mean you can be an artist with the numbers as well, or you can make a show with physics, that attracts people more than a movie. Of course if you are really good at it. Creativity is also linked with a lot of things.
I think that the problem with the school system is not that it highlights the subjects what is important for the society. Maybe it is also true a little bit, but for me the biggest concern is the way of teaching. Simply it's not fun. To maintain a child's creativity, professors have to be creative as well. More entertaining classes makes learning new things easier, at least for me this is the case.
For example in Hungary at my University I often find myself thinking about other stuff, staring out of the window, because I'd lost all my intrest in that subject.
The best example for the responsibility of the teachers is when I had a calculus exam, but I missed all the classes, because they were sooo boring. Then someone told me, that there is another teacher, a PhD student, who is really good. So before the exam (literally before, I think the class was 8 hours before the exam) I went to that class without any preparations. I was absolutely sure that I would not make that exam. It was really fast, because the guy had 2 hours to tell us as much as he could. When it was over, I was like 'ok, I think I am ready'. After all, my exam was graded around 80%. And it wasn't basic calculus, it was calculus 3.
p.s.: "earth without art, is just eh"
