the importance of art

"Tax dollars should not be waisted on art, music, or theatre classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period." 

This statement is false. In my opinion, art, theatre, and music are all classes that put good into school. Kids get bored very quickly with things like math, science, english, and history. The arts put a fun aspect into school that makes kids want to continue going more so than if they weren't there. I also disagree That it is a wait f tax dollars. The arts have been proven to help with language development, as well as increasing the IQ and improving test scores. Overall, it helps the brain work harder, which can help with entering the workforce. Another part of this statement that is very invalid is that schools should be training minors to enter the workforce. While this is true, it implies that you cannot use art, theatre, and music in the workforce. Schools need teachers for these things, but besides that art can lead to being an animator, photographer, or even the next great painter. Theatre helps write scripts for all your favorite shows and movies, as well as providing the actors in them. In music you get the great composers, the singers, the songwriters, and so much more. While most people don't become famous, if your mindset was that you weren't going to do it at all because of that fact, there would be no one famous or legendary.
