What the Math class can learn from the Arts class
Posted by David Wees on Jul 23, 2010
I just read this article from 2007, originally posted in the Boston Globe, but available here online. The point of the article is that participation in an Arts class helps students learn skills which may not be present elsewhere in their school as a result of a narrowing focus of schools on standardized testing.
