I believe emotions/feelings are integrated in all subjects in school. I do not think they can be a separate grade. Teachers have enough to teach their
curriculum and keep up with the latest technology, on top being a pseudo (parent). I agree with Ida, to a certain extend, i.e., one of the pollsters that commented that parents need to "step up" and
take initiative with their child. I DO NOT agree with her commenting on "thinking" this is fluff stuff and the "so-called" hard academics are higher up on the ladder of things. She certainly
never took an Art Class and honed her skills there. WE deal with the emotions/critical thinking skills/left and right brain skill development. Schools would be better off in the long run if they
literally labeled ART as hard core...as it does not come easily to everyone. But, corporations want
people that can make decisions and not always spit out academics plablem..they want leaders/critical thinkers! Art provides for emotional development and more!
