[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is odd advice from an elementary school teacher. I've never heard any teacher talk down about the benefits of music education. The reason on the cognitive benefits of learning how to play an instrument are well known. Maybe she has beef with the instructor? I do know that many MCPS elementary schools don't have a dedicated teacher, but a shared resource who rotates between the schools. So I get why some might not like that model, but honestly, I don't see how that makes much of a difference since it's not like kids had music daily before that anyway.[/quote] This 4th grade teacher was asleep at the wheel during contract bargaining season. MCEA was trying to increase the chorus and instrumental music specials to give homeroom teachers more planning time 🙄[/quote]
