[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a super athlete, a rock star, or Van Gough, but I would have an issue with a school that doesn't offer sports, music, or art. They are all important to the whole-child. They all add value to a child's education and for many kids, make school fun to attend. If you want to limit that number of sports offered, that's fine.[/quote] PE is part of the curriculum. I'm talking about EXTRAcurricular sports. And probably, band, etc., too.[/quote]

PE isn't academic, get rid of it.  It's not within the school's core purpose.[/quote]OP here... oh I think educating children about physical activity and health is absolutely part of the academic curriculum. Body and mind...

Arts can also be used to each much about other subjects - math, history, language.

Focus on the EXTRAcurriculars, people![/quote]

There are many people who would gladly give up art instead of extracurricular sports.  Why is your opinion more valid than theirs.  They might think art doesn't add much while extracurricular sports teach hard work/dedication, working as a team, promotes healthy living....[/quote]
