What’s So Fine About Art?
Another Center for Education Policy study announces what educators and parents already knew: the curriculum is getting mighty narrow under NCLB. Science, social studies, art, music, phooey! Even lunch and recess — who needs ‘em?
Well, all kids, CEP says, calling for a “well-balanced curriculum and adequate instructional time in all core subjects.”
Still, I’ve seen some Onion-esque headlines about the study today, along the lines of “Math, Reading Benefit Under NCLB.” Um, that’s not quite the point. Unless math and reading test scores are all you care about.
Oh, right.
