Some people think that art is an essential subject for children at school while others think it is a waste of time. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

#people #art #children #school #waste #time
There has been a heated discussion around
art
 as a subject for
students
 to learn at school. Many
people
 see learning
art
 as equally important as other subjects, while others think it is a waste of time. As far as I am concerned,
art
 is essential and invaluable. I can understand why some
people
 believe it is a waste of time. Since most
students
 do not need to take an exam for
art
 to enter university. Studying
art
 seems trivial to those who think high grades are all that matters.
Therefore
,
art
 is not viewed as important by those
people
 as Math, English, or Chemistry. Due to their short-term view, the number of
people
 with
such
 a mentality is not a minority around the world.
However
, taking
art
 classes at schools
such
 as painting, music and design can help
students
 not only relax and have a little more fun under pressure but
also
 broaden their horizons and foster a positive mindset toward their personal lives and
this
 world.
For example
,
students
 who take music classes can not only learn how to appreciate music but
also
 help them develop self-expression and creativity, which will increase their confidence and sense of identity, encouraging them to become more independent adults in the future.
On the contrary
, it may not be enough to study so-called "crucial" subjects like math and biology all day to achieve those positive results. In conclusion, I value
art
 as the core subject as other subjects.
Although
 I can understand why there have been two groups of
people
 standing totally opposite on
this
 topic, personally, I still think every student should be given
such
 opportunities when they are young.
