Many schools have been making cutbacks, just as we all have due to the economy. Unfotunately when a school is making a cut back, its the students that suffer. its either lower wages for teachers, which equals strikes or a lower quality of teaching staff. they could not purchase supplies but then the students have no books to read, chairs to sit in or desks to write on. so rather than making the cuts there they cut the classes that are seen as, "non essential". what are these classes? mainly Arts, however music falls into their as well. how could a class that can be used as an outlet of self expression be considered useless? what other opprotunity do these kids have to focus on no one but themselves? they can do whatever the please in art as long as they follow simple guidelines. many children who fall into the abused catagory can be saved from the teachers who notice the unusal pattern in the artwork they recieve. Art is unbelieveably crucial to a childs educaiton. its all about becoming well rounded! you can learn just as much from art as you can from any other subject. it may not manifest itself in the same way but its value is there! Whats your opinion of keeping art in school?
