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.

How do you know they won't make money from the arts or sports?
If anything, I think it's more likely to happen nowadays.

You should be happy that it's encouraging them to embrace their passions and what makes them happy, rather than make them hide who they really are and make them feel sad -- just because some people find it pointless.

@JupiterDreams totally wrong.

Expression must not be allowed, it must be silenced and controlled. Look at society today. Nobody wants to know what someone else is feeling. So there is no need for arts and all that. Emotions must be taken away and destroyed and silenced, so humanity can rise above itself
