It's sad how vocational schools have declined so much.

My other daughter goes to Laguardia HS for the Performing Art (she plays flute, bass, and bassoon). it's one of the nations premier arts high schools, so we are experiencing a bit of both extremes. Hell even Madonnas daughter goes there.

I have a guy who works for me, can barely read, but he is an artist as a welder and I am lucky to have him. What is so bad about doing a skilled job and doing it well?

The arts are for the spirit. What a bureaucratic futz up.
Test prep is a soul drainer.

A fine point. I also wonder how life is for a skilled worker who can't read and/or understand enough basic math to take care of their personal finances. Your worker is certainly lucky you aren't cheating him. How would he know?

Are you suggesting the arts should be removed from schools and taught in church/temple/etc.?

Why is it a soul drainer? Poet claims to teach the "right way" and says that his students score very high on the tests. That would seem to indicate that teaching the "right way" is actually very good test prep.

Students can barely read and do math when they graduate. Art is easy. Make them feel good when they get their jobs at 711 or a gas station

I am ok with standardized tests, also ok with them being important....just not this important.
And yes, will have to include band and art on the test because we are now threatening to lay off teachers based on test scores, so those subjects have to be included.
My current school is part of a pilot program to create a standardized test for drama/acting.
Yeah its turning acting into a dull affair. Students practice 3 scenarios over and over again because that's what is on the test.
