Exercise on February 28 Part 1
Could You Please Check My Essay Below, Thanks!
Some people think children should not study creative subjects at school. Do you agree or disagree? Try to use the structure we discussed of ‘how it affects you, others, etc.)
With the rapid development of science and technology, more and more people believe that children should not study creative subjects at school. A lot of people seem to think that dance, art and drama are their soft subject. Moreover, at some primary schools dance, art and drama are offered in clubs because they aren’t the ‘’real subject” that we need for “big school”.
Since 1990 creativity scores have significantly decreased especially with children in kindergarten through sixth grade, because of an emphasis on core curriculum and accountabilities. Those subjects in relation to art have been pushed into the corner.
We’re in a society that obsessed with living for the future. The education puts emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math, saying that students who focus exclusively on the arts risk their career path. This would affect the motivation of children that really love the arts and have potential. They would struggle to take seriously for taking arts subjects. They would be told by advisers that dance and drama wouldn’t help you to get a suitable career. Much more interesting, there is this stigma with the arts that only “unintelligent” take those subjects.
I can’t entirely agree with the idea that children should not study creative subjects at school. Nothing is further from the truth than this opinion. I remember when I was young how the world was filled with art, music and creativity instead of iPads, smartphones and HD Tvs. I didn't know it but along with experiencing all the joy, fun and freedom I was developing important life skills like divergent thinking, problem solving and innovation.
