I don't know about most superintendents, but the one for my school system did nothing to deserve a six figure salary.<br /><br />Arts are important, they shouldn't get cut. In a society where people are less and less cultured in the terms of art and what they get to experience or the fact that not everyone is fortunate enough to get to go to NYC or the big theater in State Capital, local community/school theaters bring that sense of class to a city. People who wouldn't ever get to see Aida or Seussical would get to see it.<br /><br />Plus, it's just fun for everyone and the arts foster growth in self-esteem and I know with music programs, analytical and quantitative scores can go up.<br /><br />It sucks that drama programs get cut while sports teams always seem to get more and more funding when more people can participate in the arts than sports.<br />/former wannabe teacher rant over.Paigeewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147262096880585294noreply@blogger.com
