Sep 06 | Arts In Education Week
In honor of the upcoming Arts In Education Week September 12-September 18, we have republished "Why Teach The Arts?". We hope that this argument written by a student intern, the product of the DISD's wonderful arts program and a senior in Modern Dance at the University of Utah, will be of interest to all of those interested in the role and value of providing a strong education in the arts to our children. We also hope that those skeptics who believe teaching the arts is a frivolous waste of time may gain a new perspective. Without creativity there cannot be innovation and without innovation how can we expect to solve the problems that face us all?
