Cutting art and music is one of the dumbest things — it’s been shown in repeated studies that those two disciplines improve scores in the other disciplines, especially STEM. Same holds true for languages. If you want a smart STEM program, you’ll include the arts. Oh, and while we’re at it, those schools that cut recess to focus on studying are engaging in a counterproductive pursuit. Recess is essential to learning.

But I bet they did not cut or eliminate any sports program.

It’s always different when they are doing it to someone else.
