Losing Out on Art and Music...

With recent budget cuts, students may face a school day without electives and special area classes like Art and Music. How do you feel about the prospect of not being able to participate in these classes?

  5. I feel that losing art or music or pe is terrible because people that love art or music or pe wont have the chance to do something that the love.Like when you go to middle school you probably wont have the chance to go to music or art or pe.You would have band and they would give you a instrument and for art you would have to paint with a brush and print in a cup not with crayon and for pe you maybe you wont even have pe you would have to a sport.Lilian

  6. I would feel sad because the electives help us learn about other things besides Reading,Science,Social Studies,Math,and Language Arts. I wouldn't like to do only that every day. From:Raxel

  10. I feel that its horrible if i cant enjoy having art and music classes they are the classes that let us express ourselves or even be able to know what drawings or music is.We would probably not even be able to have fun sometimes if we have nothing to do we cant sing or paint if we dont know what drawing or music is.

  18. I would have loved to participate in the classes I love being a part of my art and music classes, because in my art classes I make animals made out of clay. I like music class because I get to learn about the type of instruments.

  19. I think we should keep art,music, and P.E and especially P.E because its my favorite subject because i want to become a football player one day so i have to practice in P.E all the time and in pe P.E you could play,run around,and be free. Marcos 3rd grade

  20. I agree with that studens should have music and art. Music is my favorite and art is awsome. I would feel sad if they took my music and art from me. I really think that no one should take your music and art. In art when you draw you can express your feelings about somethings that you can't say. In music you can make cool types of music. Don't take it away from us please. Express your feelings about things. Also p.e. is good for you to play and many other things. Today I play volley ball and I had fun doing it.

  22. Its true its awesome. My favorite out of all three is p.e. because its like feeling the breeze out side.its just so awesome. I think my mom would like music but in spanish because thats what she told me.she always expresses her feelings just like me. I would feel broken if I didn't have those two subjects.

  23. I like music and art the most of my classes and I don't wanna lose them. It would be good learning how to play an instrument or draw a profesional picture when you grow up. It will be fun to see you having fun with what you're doing. I think they shouldn't take away Music or Art. Those two subjects are one of my favorites. I would be happy if they didn't take those subjects away. I think other students will be happy too if they didn't take it away. I would like to play a guitar when I grow up. Or draw a picture that people would like. I agree with the other students that said they shouldn't take away Art or Music because those are subjects that a lot of kids love from Second to Fifth I think.

  24. I think it is not good to lose art,music,and pe because how are we going to play and exercize too.And also why take away art because,art is away to exspress your feelings and music is also another way to feel and a music is a peace of art to express your feeling too.And don't listen to what any body else thinks what you want to think say what you say,and do what you want.And my name is ja'sennia 3 grade class

  25. I agree beacause art and music are the best so is P.E it will be very sad to loose those clases.People love those classes. The're like the funest classes in the whole school.The school will be super boring without those classes.Some people might leave the school too.There is got to be something to do so they dont take it away.

  27. I agree becuase art is my favorite and I want to be a artist like my dad was.Also music is my favorite becuase I love the sound of a violin and the piano. So please don't take it away from the school. And you learn something new. I love learning new things.Becuase my mom said that it is a way to express your feelings.It's a peace of art.Now for pe it's fun becuase you can do alot of thing's like kick which is my favorite. so don't take it away!

  28. I think it will be sad and bad because people love to sing and draw and my brother got in chorus and he loved it. If Miami-Dade won't have muisc or art we won't have beat. We won't know how to draw. If you take music and art your kids won't get to be a singer or an artist. Think about you. What do you want to be a singer, artist, baseball player? If you take it away you won't get to do it and we won't get to do it. Use your brain what do you want to be. Music rocks! Also art rocks! Do not take it away plese.

  29. I would feel horrible if there was no Music,Art or P.E. The reason why I would feel horrible is that I wouldn't get to sing and use instrunments. In art I get to use paint brushes and crayons and in p.e I can play anything I want like kickball, T-ball, football, volleyball, racket t-ball. So please don't take these classes away from any school. julian,3rd grade

  30. I wish that we have music art and P.E was forever. I never want art music and pe to end because those are my favorite subjects! If music art and P.E ends I would be super board! I like music the best because you get to sing and play instruments and dance. I think p.e.is better than music and art because you get to play and run around All you want. If my school loses P.E I would be really tired of writing. I wish school was only P.E.

  31. I wouldn't want to lose P.E, music,or art because they are my favorite subjects. In music and art you can express your feelings and in P.E you can learn new exercises. I would really be sad if I lost music,art,or P.E. If I lost music and art I wouldn't know how to express my feelings.

  34. I think we should not lose art, music, pe and the library because I really like to participate in those stuff. I really like to read, get exercise, paint, and learn about music and I want to enjoy everything in schools. And that's what school is for,to learn. I like school to get smarter. So when I am an adult I know everything. To help my kids with homework and all he needs. So I hope art, music, pe, and the library don't get lose in school so we could get smarter. I hope you agree with me. George 3rd grade class

  37. It is really sad beacuse I love art and music and I love music beacuse it is fun. It would not be fun without music then we would not know the beat and would not know any art. You get to draw and get kisses from the art teacher. I love art so much. I also love pe because it would just be boring without pe. I would be sad and school will be just be boring without pe, art, and music. I love music and art and p.e. I love all subjects and if we didn't have p.e. and music and art we would not know the fun subjects in school. We would only know English and science and social studies and math. May favorite subjects are reading and math. You can't play games like volly ball and kick ball and tennis and I'll be bored and just sad. I want it to be school like it is now. I love school and it will not be normal school and it would no be school without all of the other sudjects. I wouldn't like the school with other math and english. It isn't fare! We need to learn and be smart and be brave and fight for all subjects. I am sure everybody will be sad and I as well be too. Plaese fight for all subjects.

  39. I like having P.E and music and art. If I did not have pe, I would not like school. In middle school I hope I have pe, art, and music. Do all schools have music or art and no pe? While I am in school, I have to not think about games, fun stuff and my xbox360. I will try to consontrate on my test and work. Even when I grow not like dads and mom, but when i'm an a teenager, I could play bad games like left4dead2, dead space, gtf, and more rated M for matuer games. So if I'm a teenager I will be in middle school or high school or also college. "Focus boy, boy focus on the test!" I like Coral Terrace Elemetary school so I will focus on my test so I can learn how to do 300X400. Well I do not know in my house I play psp, ps2, ps3, and xbox360 I always think that games are tests and I do my homework at 7:oo. I quit playing my games and do my work I like to be a teenager and play games. Bad games are my favrote game like left4dead2. But my dad won't let me so I hope I hope I have pe and music. I know a song in music im a single lady im a single lady you put your hands up up in the club club just wock up up doing my own little thing and you wana dip dip and you im board so art is beautiful. Spanish well I do know spanish her yo soy americano so pe is awsom and beter I can be strong and hard and no one will bet so I also like mathamatics and reading. I know what is 9X5=45

  44. I think that it would be horrible to take away special areas because then we wont have p.e or music and those are my favorite subjects.Also I would be bored of just the same thing every single day.By:Stephan

  45. what type of crazy people whould like to take special area classes away! Didint Barack Obama say that "we are the future" if u take our special area classes we would have a future but some may have not get a succsesful future.For example,lf you take music out it will effect students. Some students whant to play instruments or be singers and if music is out that my not happend. If u take art out students will be shamed that they can no longer be able to draw or some kids draw to express their feelings.If u take p.e out kids will not be able to learn new sports. I am just saying the person who is planning to take special area classes most be crazy. by: Evin

  46. i would be disapointed because p.e is my
    favorite subject :)<3

  47. i think that would be terrible because if they canceled those subjects i would be misarble because i would have to spend an extra hour with my homeroom teacher and if they would dare to cancel that this school would go down the dump and p.e is my favorite subject and i would be the most bored kid in the whole iintire schoolSergio

  48. It will be very sad if a school can't have P.E.Or other electives.Because the students would have nothing to look fowerd to.If a school can't have some kind physical class to let the students have fun and release their tension then the students would be board out of thier minds!

  49. A mi me gustaria que tubiera porque es dibertido y entretiene y todo a el mundo le gustara eso porque todo el dia entero clases abure mucho y seria mejor que pusieran musica y p.e. porque ahuque sea perdemos un coco de clases. Por eso es que a nadie le gusta las escuela porque son aburidas y sin p.e. o mucica son mas aburidas todabia y tambien ahy que darle a la escuela que escoja lo que quieran, eso se llama libertad a la gente, y si no le dan libertad a la gente nadie ba a guirer ir a la escuela.

  50. I think thats not good a idea! TAKING AWAY SPECIAL AREAS!!!! The school shouldnt take away P.E beacus we learn how to exersise.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think they shouldn't take away music and art and p.e. Because p.e. in my school its awesome we get to do fun activites,we get to talk and we can play sports that keeps me fit. With music I love it becuase I can create beats everyday and I would like to use them in a song that will become famous one day.My opinion i dont like art but i want people who like art to have it becuase the way i like music and p.e. they feel about art. so DONT TAKE AWAY THOSE CLASSES!!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I would feel unhealthy if I dont have p.e beacause half of the excersice I do is in p.e I would also feel out of shape.If I dont have art I will lose my art skills and my art talent.if I dont have music my life would be so blah and I will be very moody because music helps me with my problems and makes me feel better. THEY SHOULD NOT TAKE AWAY THOSE ELECTIVES!!!

  53. It wouldnt feel as fun without these subjects.
    we wont have the opportunity to rest and give your brain a rest!All normal subjects just ask for work work and work!But when you have a special subject,you can have time to be yourself and comunicate with your good friends.Some students would want to be an athlete,or even a musician.but it gives them a smaller chance if they cant have these subjects.Also if we dont have these subjects are minds wont develope as much or creative.Also if we dont have physical education it can make you lazy and then that can cause being overweight or even obesity!It can also make us lazy and we would want to do is play videogames 24/7!.That is why i think we should have special subjects and they why they shouldnt be eliminated.

  54. If school didnt have music,art and p.e students would be sore from they're brains and they might even have an extra class,how boring is that!If students don't have speacial subjects they might not develop the talent of music and art or maybe they won't even know they have this wonderful talent;if students have this kind of talent they might go in competitions for they're schools and get money for supplies and ink.If students don't havce p.e they wont be healthy and active instead they're going to sitting in a couch like a lazy bum and watch t.v all day.
