I Hate Meaningless Music

Why on earth do us tax payers have to pay for schools to teach arts and music? Like it’s absolutely useless to a child and they won’t ever make money from it, so why not just scrap that stuff and put the money towards better maths and science teaching? Kids don’t need to learn about music or art, they find their own.

Sports is a bit of a waste of money as well. Why waste it on false promises of fame or income, only to find there is none?

No, education should be about working with businesses, companies, getting children to get used to actual skills that people care about and will actually be useful for society and makes money. There is no time or place for things that does not make money or is not interesting to companies, businesses or society.

I hear what your saying....and I know your going to get some pushback...I like the idea of kids learning something other than academics. A little art, a little music, even actual physical activity....you don't want just a bunch of "droids" right? Again, I hear what your saying but ideally you want to give a kid a nice variety of skills....SO THEY CAN MAKE A LIVING AS A VIDEO GAMER!....who am I crapping...were doomed...

@luctoretemergo driods is exactly the idea; then the government and media can say whatever shit they like and the new generation won’t be able to express themselves. If they do, they can be locked up and punished, that’s the only way this society can move forward.
