The Arts needs to be established as important for ever child of any age for public/private schools!

lol thank you for accepting the challenge, and by the way, I am not a girl haha! No offense taken! Now as I do agree that many kids in these Arts classes do not wish to be there, I am not stating that they will have to be forced to take these classes, I am merely stating that there needs to be a greater importance of the Arts. so many people take it too lightly that soon its all going to vanish no matter how hard some people like myself and my opponent try to keep it around through influence and creativity. There are too many kids these days who don't see the true meaning of art, but rather who has the greater technology and who can text the fastest. Music is one of the worlds greatest forms of art, and you can see clearly which direction it is headed with today's generations. Rap music is now close to if not already the #1 music listened to, and it is not what I would call art. If you would excuse the language, Rap music is mostly about sex, drugs, alcohol, gang violence, and other forms of inappropriate content, and the average teen listens to it day after day, night after night. Its no wonder gang violence is as high as it is what with the "Rap" singers are singing about. This is but an example showing where the arts are going right now. Now as I do agree with Con that kids should only take the Arts classes if they want, this debate is about if it should be deemed as important as Math, Reading, Science, and History, and I think it should as it is a huge part of how this world became what is is. The Renaissance was a huge discovery of art, and it is slowly deteriorating. We need to place a bigger emphasis on the Arts so we can rebuild while we can. What's going to happen in 20 years when the Arts are totally thrown out of schools because people don't see the need of them? I see people daily at school or at work that have obviously never been exposed to the Arts, and I can see the difference. I am lucky that I have a passion for such arts as Theatre, because it has taught me that you cant go through this world following what everyone else is doing, that you have to be strong and resolute, and what I'm strong and resolute about is the Arts. If I cant show the importance of the arts to the spectators of the debate and also my fellow opponent (though I believe he agrees that the Arts are important as he has stated that he has been drawing for about 5-6 years) then I don't know what to say. I believe the Arts are more important than Math, than Science and reading and history, because it doesn't just show you what your going to need to make a living, it shows you that you should live by what you enjoy and what makes you happy. With this argument I urge you to vote Pro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
