Showing Original Post only (View all)did you have art and music in school? [View all]
when ppl start wondering where it all went wrong, my 1st thought is usually- when we started stripping the school systems for parts. i wonder if these broken ppl had art and music in their schools. its obviously 1 small factor, but its not zero, is it?
im old. i had art and music in school. but i went to catholic school and boy howdy do nuns love to make kids sing. dont remember how many credits in the arts you needed to graduate hs, but there was a requirement.
you? asking about grade school, cuz it gets complicated in hs. but feel free to comment.
how much did it matter to you?

Art and music were just part of our public grade school curriculum in the '50s

Republicans certainly don't see it that way. They want schools to prepare students for a life

Absolutely. Have read numerous articles citing that music, especially, yields better school

Had music daily for most of my school life. Was in the band, concert and marching, for seven years.
