Art and music classes should not be mandatory at school
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There are lots of controversies these days about emphasizing educations on learning practical subjects instead of liberal arts. Art and music classes are among liberal arts, mostly which had been mandatory courses until middle school. However, I agree with art and music classes should not be an obligation at school.
First of all, as stated above, arts and musics are not practical. After all students go to job field, most of the companies requirements when hiring a worker is a skill to solve problems, ability to deal with specific fields such as computers, or a labor that has to do with certain subjects which is popular in this society. In reality, most enterprises wants a student who had got good records on math, english, physics, and etc. However the need for musics and art is very short, and thus there is no need to teach students those topics forcefully.
Second, school requires too much of student’s efforts. With just prerequisite courses such as math, science, english, and etc, students are having a hard time dealing with all those subjects already. Each subjects have an assignments, mid-terms, finals, team projects, and it is a huge burden for them to carry on. Meanwhile, if students were taught to play piano or flute in music class, and when mid-term period comes, they have to at least know how to handle those instruments, or else they would fail, and it is obvious for them to take those courses again later on. In order for them to focus on what it is important, liberal arts should not be a mandatory courses.
In sum, the purpose of the school is to educate students and teach them knowledges to how to find a way to survive in this society. Compared to other important subjects, music and arts are not useful skills to invest their time on. Hence, I agree with music and art classes should not be mandatory courses in school.
