Education Update

Education Update

There hasn't been much headway or significant difference in the area of the education system. But another thing that it being discussed is the arts in schools. As we all know the arts are one of the top things that are proposed to being cut. This includes music, theatre, and art classes, as well as after school activities regarding these interests. But there are a lot of ways that artistic pursuits benefit students just as much as. for instance: music and painting and sculpture have many mathematical aspects to them and students that play an instrument are more inclined to understand math better that students that don't play. Also having photography helps to teach chemistry, just like science and physics are incorporated into dance. Different artistic pursuits also help children to grow confidence in their selves in front of their peers and help them to be creative, set goals and to dream.
Another issue that is always showing itself is the No Child Left Behind. when this was first stared many people were fans of it but now many people are very skeptical as to whether or not it was worth it and if it is really helping the students of America or just pushing them farther back than they already are.
