[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]finally, one person testifying states the obvious: [b]arts will be replaced by AI[/b]. why are we doing a magnet school for arts. that's the real problem with woodward. not luxmanor property values[/quote]

While AI will certainly impact the arts, it is not a guarantee that arts will disappear, nor should you desire that to be the case.

Every industry's future with AI is uncertain. The arts could integrate with AI, or the arts could shrink as AI grows, or people can decide human-generated art is preferable to AI-generated AI and grow. No one knows.

However, there is ENORMOUS educational value in arts education in terms of brain and child development. So that broadside was short-sighted and simplistic.[/quote]

Arts does not equip our community for the modern economy. It's a hobby. Let's have a card and stamp collecting magnet while we are at it. [/quote]i

You are ignorant. Tons of brain research out there about how music builds a bigger, better brain. In addition, the arts help children build resilience, grit and empathy more than any other discipline. All those soft skills that current employers complain are missing from the newest workers are learned in arts classes. Not just one-offs or programs in name only, but real programs where kids can refine their passion while also getting leadership experience and using their art as service to the community.[/quote]
