  Transformative Education Through the Arts

  Katharine, Thank you for your concerns and questions and for sharing your blog address.  As a parent, I want all children to be able to learn in whatever way is best for them.  If some students are left-brainers and need to learn in an abstract way, then I think they should be taught using their strengths.  Some arts education, however, can also require and develop abstract thinking skills. Every child learns differently.  In some parts of the country, arts education may be mandatory.  In other parts, children do not have the opportunities to explore how arts can enhance education.
