I disagree with the statement that tax dollars should not be used for arts because i believe that for a lot of students it's their way of expressing how they feel and their way of getting away from reality. Creativity is a very good skill that i feel like everyone should have. With these art classes they exercise your brain and make it easier for you to come up with unique and different ideas. Even for people who go into business jobs still need to be able to come up with different solutions and be able to think outside the box so their ideas are different and possibly better then other people within their work place so they can stand out and be the best they can be.
