music and art education made compulsory for all school students
You mention developing stress from doing activities we don't like, yet there are many students who aren't such big fans of courses like math, science, or english. If you'd enter a random classroom, chances are, they'd probably claim hate it. So, does that mean that they should not be compulsory? Second of all, music is shown to lower stress. Many turn to music for comfort, and for relaxation. And, sometimes, it just sort of inspires you. Music & arts are very important. If they weren't, would they play such an important role in our lives today ? If art & music are not important, are you claiming that people like painters, dancers, writers, actors, and musicians are not important as well? There are many people, who were involved in the arts, that contributed greatly to our society. Art isn't just painting. It's also writing, cooking,dancing ,acting and designing. It's everything from a novel, to the shows on tv, The world without art, would certainly be rather dull. I ask you, is that what you'd like our future to be ?
