There has been a debate regarding the importance of art and drama at the primary school level, with some thinking that they are less relevant compared to other subjects
such
as natural science and social science. I strongly believe that art and drama are not as critical as other courses for various reasons.
First and foremost, artistry does not have a significant role in the betterment of our society. Our civilization is based on the craftsmanship and ideas of scientists, and Linking Words
further
governed by the social majors. Linking Words
For instance
, the ability to draw paintings would not be able to solve urgent problems, Linking Words
such
as alleviating poverty. Linking Words
Moreover
, it would be a waste of resources if younger students spend too much of their time studying skill sets that are not relevant to the real world. Linking Words
For instance
, providing drawing pencils to students will decrease the Linking Words
overall
budget that could be better spent on purchasing microscopes.
Some would disagree and argue that teaching arts would enhance creativity and Linking Words
therefore
improve the capability to solve various problem sets. There are merits to that argument, Linking Words
however
, creativity can be improved in a more effective manner. Linking Words
For example
, children can develop novel ideas by being exposed to mathematical problems, Linking Words
this
would improve their creativity Linking Words
while
learning subjects that are comparatively more relevant in the real world.
Linking Words
To conclude
, I firmly believe that art should not be taught in primary schools Linking Words
due to
the limited role of artists in our world and because of the limitation of resources.Linking Words
