"Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period x to say that art is a waste and that work force training is absurd. many jobs in the work force require some sort of art form such as photography, a graphic designer, a film producer, or a singer. art builds up the sense of creativity and problem solving needed in day to day life. through art you can express yourself in a healthy and fun way. the arts are an escape for some kids, where they can take a break from core classes and life itself. taking this escape away would be a crucial factor in high schoolers not wanting to go to school anymore.
