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
The inclusion of art in the school's curriculum has been a controversial topic. It should not be considered part of the education is thinking of some people
while
 the opponents say that it is an essential subject.
This
 essay will discuss both views and put forward reasons why I agree with the latter view. On the one hand, music and dance are dominated by other
subjects
 like science and mathematics because these play an important fundamental role in building a career.
For example
, scientists earn more than artists who are often homeless or struggle to make a living. Clearly, STEM
subjects
 are a vital part of syllabi as these are the foundation for a successful life. If these are taken away from the education system,
then
 students will be left with almost nothing to study.
On the other hand

 field. In my opinion, the scope might be limited but if craft is taken away from the curriculum the talent will soon fade away which needs to be nurtured by the educators in the first place. Youngsters will not be able to learn about our culture and traditions which are mainly represented by art.
To conclude
, art should not lose its brilliance and young ones should definitely learn about it.
Although
 other
subjects
 should be treated equally important, the craft should be eliminated from the education system.

task response
The essay partially addresses the task, but the response lacks depth and clarity. It would benefit from providing a more balanced discussion of both views and a clear opinion.
coherence and cohesion
The essay demonstrates a fair level of coherence and cohesion, with some logical linking of ideas and points. However, the introduction and conclusion are underdeveloped and need to be more substantial.
