Arts & humanities for students
National Arts & Humanities Month 5280 a.s.l. Colorado State Capitol Arts education in all it’s shapes and forms, acknowledged this month on a National scale, along with Humanities. Both the Arts and the Humanities are essential to a complete and fulfilling education. The drop out rate continues, with incentives for college, increase of credits, and policies of prejudice towards subjects.
Cuts continue in districts throughout the system, throughout the Nation, and we let it happen. Americans for the Arts have all the data, test results and testimonies of the value of cultural connections to education through the arts and humanities. Writing, reading and adding the arts to the curriculum, can keep a student in school. The art of learning is to be concerned with the humanity, in the way we teach. Creativity is in each of us, and children are naturals. We collectively can change the direction of education. In our Towns, Cities and States we can value our rich history, and embrace our heritage. Our local control school boards have the ability to develop their students for the 21st century. More math and science will not fill the void, or make the grade, but together with the arts and humanities, all subjects become interesting.
Let’s celebrate our arts, visual and performing, and all the literature of classic people who can bring real class to the classroom. Moving forward in the education of our children K-12 starts with you. Get involved; Speak with your Representatives who sit on School Boards, Municipal Councils, Legislatures and Congress. Make the most of the Month.

Yep thats what the kids need. Less math, science, english (replaced by spanish language and revisioned history). A more civil course to education. No wonder the kids can not pass lowered entry exams into collages.
Yes arts and humanities have a place in school, but not the brainwashing arts and humanities proposed by the social engineers union called teachers.
We have to have a choice on schooling for our children other wise they will be dumbed down even further.
Celebrate the arts by taking a few field trips to the museums, plays and ballet. Do not drop or reduce the basics to accomplish this though.
