What techniques should schools use to strengthen literacy?

Throughout high school I found that most of my writing classes lacked the ideas of self expression and creativity.  Being forced to write about specific topics with specific guidelines only made me want to break out of the shell more.  If classes would become more creative and encourage new ideas more, they would see more improvement from their students.  Writing in itself takes a creative part of the mind to accomplish.  It comes naturally to express ourselves with creative words instead of being forced into writing about "standardized topics".  If all English classes were more like this one, students would be much better off.
