Drama is a speciality niche that does not serve the larger classroom community. Sports, on the otherhand may be the only physical exercise some kids get...which impacts health. Art is life and therefore should continue to be promoted as such. The core subjects should also be continued.

They really need to stop serving these poor young people this terrible rat poison and turn around and say its lunch I mean honestly! I don't even think most kids even bother trying to eat that crap, unless your Obamas kids and get a 5 course meal everyday for lunch. And if that be the case cut math what do we need our brains for if we got computers doing all the work for us.. See I'm not even typing this message any more.
I would have to say that remedial classes on a failed portion of a standardized test should be expunged! I live in Florida, Home of Walt Disney World, sunny beaches, and that (insert expletive gerund-as-adjective) Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT)! Don't y'all just hate the teaching to the test curriculum required by NCLB?

PTA at our local schools send 50percent of all money collected to the national PTA which is a total waste. I think the schools and libraries should bring in arts teachers to use their facilities and allow the teachers to charge for the classes.
School Athletics are pretty much useles...They realyl profit nothing,and music arts, theator, are much more inpotant then kicking a ball around..

I think the Parent and Teacher Association (PTA) could take a substantial cut! Next many of the social 'clubs' can be eliminated. As a last resort I think lunch could go. Give students an hour off campus for lunch.
The Arts & Athletics Programs are proven to bridge the educational gap between logical problem solving and spatial understanding -- required to achieve Gestalt (the 'ah-ha!') experience.
