The Tippecanoe School Corporation has to make some serious budget cuts as do many school systems across the state of Indiana and probably the whole nation. The reason I know this is because a nurse I work with, her husband is a PE teacher. PE, art, and music are three possible "special" classes on the chopping block. I feel bad for my co-worker, but I also feel bad for the students. Why do schools still feel these classes are optional or unimportant? Kids need to move and express themselves. Learning to read music or play an instrument is like learning a new language. Which reminds me that they might consider getting rid of foreign language requirements for the high schools. Gosh, school would be so boring if all there was was reading, writing, and arithmetic.
