It is really ashame schools would want to cut art, music, and dance out of the curriculum. I think art, music, dance, etc are very good and helpful to kids. It teaches them to be creative. It makes me mad people want to cut these programs or classes out of the schools.

When I was in HS, I took MANY art and other creative classes. I love art and music. I've never played the piano, but I have a great appreication for the music. After studying computers in college, I went to an art college to study fashion designing. The art classes I took in HS and college have stayed with me to this day. I have a love of drawing and painting and it is because art was available in my HS.

I say keep art, music, dance, and other creativity programs in school. It is not just a fun class to take, but it will enrich and teach kids many things.
