The California PTA just launched a series of straight talking PSA's and what do the parents say in the featured video of the series when asked the one thing they'd do to improve our schools? More arts, more music, more visual arts.
Click here to take a look.
If parents value arts in education (remember the 2005 Harris Poll that shows a resounding 93% of Americans consider the arts to be vital to providing a well-rounded education for children and a critical link to learning and success. Or what about the Harris Interactive independent poll which shows a positive association of music with lifelong educational attainment and higher income) why is arts education disappearing before our eyes?
Let's look inside that chasm, study the causes, and work methodically towards change.
And share that PSA with everyone you know.
