[quote=Anonymous]OP again. In the pre-high-school years, I'm willing to trade off classroom time spent on 'pure' academics in return for substantially more time spent on arts subjects. I went to a school for the creative and performing arts for part of my childhood -- in a different part of the US, of course. There was daily art, daily general music, daily chorus, daily drama, and daily PE. There was a period in my school day that I could use for instrument practice time. I spent more time in arts classes than in academic classes, and the academics were fast-paced and compressed. But the academics weren't low-quality; the assumption was that the students were bright and capable of learning academics without repetition (and that kids should be pushed to think critically, to write well, etc.)[/quote]
