Alternative Assignment:


"Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period."


Art, music and theater classes in high school are not a waste of tax dollars. Yes, training young people to enter the workforce is a very important key-role in high school classes... however, if a student has a passion for the arts, that could potentially be a job for them in the future. If a student is doing what they love, how could that be a waste? Even if a student is involved in a class for the arts, they still have certain criteria they must follow in order to obtain a high school diploma. What route they take after high school is completely their choice, but saying an art, music or theatre class is a waste of tax dollars, in my opinion, is a waste of words.
