Midterm Essay
Should schools cut art classes?
Schools should concentrate on academics only. Art classes let students express their creativity, but should the schools main focus should be on academics. For most high school students art class is an “easy A”. Also the easiest class they attend. Some students only come to school for art class.therfore they put all of their energy in one particular class .While art is a great course. We go to school for academics not art. If students need to express creativity there are plenty of other places students can escape to after school. The main goal for high school students is to get a diploma and pass all standardized tests. If students focus all of their attention on art than how can we expect them to succeed in high school? There are other opportunities to show creative power. Students should put all their energy into academics. Since art is a required class in most schools, what about students who actually want an education? Do they have to suffer in dreaded art class? It’s not fair to academies loving students. Students come to school for an education and to become successful in life. Not for art class. People need to learn how to focus on education and not creativity.
