Why don't you agree that art should be mandatory.?

Question

If you say that should not be a mandatory course in american school then tell me why you say it. I agree

Answer 1

Art should be an elective. Its nice to know, but it doesn't really do much to further you in life in the greater scheme of things. I love Art by the way and there just aren't enough walls in my house.

Answer 2

This is a fascinating and very interesting question. We have traditionally considered subjects like Math, History and English as being mandatory courses but have not similarly elevated subjects like Art, Art History or Music into those categories. I believe our children would become better, more well-rounded people if they were given the opportunity, even required, to study subjects like Art, so I agree that it should be mandatory. You might consider writing a letter to your State Representative or Senator suggesting your idea.

Answer 3
