    If music and art is so important, only people who like it...

    music and art education made compulsory for all school students

    I am not saying that music or art is not important. As some people may like music and art, some students may not like music or art. My argument is that students needs to get the chance to choose not forced to learn them. If music and art is so important, only people who like it or are good at them could take the class. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also, as you have been rebutted to my argument, talking about math and science, however, it is not appropriate in this debate because it is talking about music and art education, not math or science, english. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I have been mentioning, mandatory subjects can give lots of stress. When students are forced to do what they do not want to do, they obviously get stress. An research showed that stress causes the genes to change to cause diseases. Obviously, music and art is not that important to risk the student's health or even their lives. To conclude, music and art should not be made compulsory because it can give damage to the health.
