Art is not important for learning
Art is not important for learning
Engaging with art may be enriching, motivating, fun, even somewhat useful, but in the final analysis, it shouldn’t replace learning the basic skills of reading & mathematics. Schools have limited resources, and must make hard choices to avoid wasting them on activities of lesser value. Moreover, there are many opportunities to engage with the arts outside the classroom.
