Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Younger school children (ages five to ten) should be required to study art and music in addition to math, science, history and language.
Recently, a special phenomenon in some elementary school causes people's attention. Not like the basic math, science, history and language classes, music and art classes are no longer compulsory for younger school children. Thus, someone criticizes that children among the age of 5 to 10 years old should be required to study art and music in addition to the basic science subjects. Personally, I support this opinion considering the following reasons.
First of all, music and art can help students release the pressure in study. For 5 to 10 years old students, math, science, history, language are somehow difficult and boring. But the teachers and parents have high expectation on them, which brings them extreme pressure. For instance, some girls may not good at math or science although they are eager to catch up with the other top students in class. To make up this individual shortage, tremendous effort has to be spared. However, for children in this period of age, such tough learning will make them exhausted and the interest may fade soon. In this case, music and art class can release study pressure, relax painful mind, light learning passion. After listening to music and appreciate art, they can concentrate on the basic science study efficiently and enthusiastically.
Furthermore, learning art at younger age may establish lifetime interest of art, which can benefit their later development. In this social universe, people have to found different kinds of interpersonal relationship. People with abundant interest such as art can make it much easier compared with those confine themselves in a small area of information. To give an example, when some strangers are chatting with each other occasionally in a party, those who are both fans of Michael Jackson can easily get familiar with each other. Since this connection, they are likely to have further corporation and gain help in their own career. On the contrary, those "science genius", "language talent" do not have this advantages, even may feel difficult and upset.
So all the above-mentioned reasons and examples lead to my conclusion that it is necessary for younger school children study art and music. Although they do not directly contribute to children's school mark, the positive effect is significant in the long term. |
