Schools Programs
Demo Video On Some Of The Schools Programs
Certain Schools Programs are a Necessity
Some important schools programs have been cut over the years, while a few still remain. Music for instance is one schools programs which still exists, however many schools do not have this program. Children are taught how to play simple instruments such as a recorder or flute. When a child can learn how to make music, it does something magical- this is why schools which do not have music classes should think again.
Other schools programs such as art, and gym still exist but most children do not enjoy going to either. When children are young, many of them love to draw however they don't seem to like being told what to draw, or how to draw, for that matter. Yes, they love art class as long as they can choose what is being drawn but not when it feels like work.
The same is to be said for gym. All kids love to play- recess, after school, on weekends and any other time they can run and play. Some go to their neighborhood parks to play inside the gyms. Even though kids love to play, they don't all like gym class. This is because there is a curriculum involved. Normally there is exercise at the beginning of gym which must be done which is followed by a planned activity. This is not how most kids picture gym, so for that reason it's thumbs down for a lot of them.
Highschool students especially find gym to be one of the worst schools programs. Having to change clothes, and do a list of other things in a forty to fifty minute time period is out of the question.
The Benefit of Schools Programs
Without extra schools programs, the day would be a drag for most students. This is why during their schoold day they are implemented so that the students can get a 'break' from academics. Unfortunately, many districts have had to make cuts on their schools programs, leaving the children to suffer from the loss. Learning is not done one hundred percent from books, fortunately many schools programs teach the students quite a bit- as they grow older many wil see that being a well rounded individual comes from learning in and out of the books.
