Anti-Abolition of Art Programs in Schools

In an interview with TVHS guitar instructor, Mrs. Thomas, she said. Art classes help children and young people express themselves and help teach valuable lessons not taught in the core curriculum. For example, in mathematics, it takes about 5 minutes to solve the problem, but some students take only one minute to solve the problem, but it may take 6 minutes.

Reducing the art subjects of urban public elementary schools according to budget is not a new phenomenon. According to research by Dr. Ryan D. Shaw of the National Association of America in recent years, the art curriculum and teacher of the Lansing School were reduced according to policy conditions, budget problems, dropout rate, and a negative view of elementary school art teachers. Music education "They call it" planned time reduction ". This is a euphemism. "We cut curricula for other people, art, music, sports, health. . "There are about 87 full-time positions in these different fields."

The survey shows that many of the problems bothered by the school's art education program 10 years ago are the main problems of today. Junior high school students across the country have not seen an increase in access to music and visual art education and their understanding of their principles remains particularly low - in particular the particular social and ethnic being deprived of their rights In a group. Many people believe that today's figures are even worse because the survey was conducted before the economic difficulties of many school systems in recent years. As in 1997, in the 2008 survey, only 47% of the students were receiving visual arts education, and only 57% of the students received music education. The survey attempted to see the drama and dance show, but since very few schools did not offer them, they were excluded from the study.

Education for music and art is essential in schools as our children, schools, and communities benefit from these courses. Various forms of art brings about more cognitive development; therefore, they improve curriculum test scores and national standard tests, so they are necessary for our school curriculum. Arts supporters are arguing better than those who oppose such as improving cognitive abilities, building teams, improving educational enrichment, multilateral thinking and learning beyond the result.
