They do. It's called art class.

Idk what kind of art classes you had at middle school but creative is not how I'd describe it. You got assignments. You draw this bird. Has to be a bird. Okay now were doing clay, you have to make a pot. Music time you have to learn this song. I feel so creative.

Not exactly the best for expressing creativity true but it something and in the end of the day school is more about learning anyways? Do the kids literally need tik tok time in school like he's saying? No time to explore their creativity for that at home?

Because a huge part of art class is actually having...you know..STUFF to learn and explore with. The paint and whatnot you might not have at home? So...im not sure what tik tok class is supposed to provide?
