Should math and science be taught in schools more often than art and music?

[klassicdoll]

The mind needs healthy education, just as the body needs a balanced diet. Education shouldn't prioritize some subjects above others, for this reason. While science and math are important for problem solving, technology, and understanding the natural world, art and music also shed light on human experiences, creativity, and cultural understanding. Therefore, both academic fields are worthwhile and enhance a well-rounded education.

Agree or disagree?

you have a point. They all are very important and schools should make sure that the right amount is being taught in every school, depending on the kind of school.

Here math and science are our crown of studies, here no music class and rare art class. When I was school teacher I selected English and Science subject. I love science subject to teach.

If we focus on teaching one aspect of knowledge over the other, we would have so many inventions and innovation with no one to apply it to real life problems solving. Remember, arts is an application of what the science discovers.

We just have to have a mix of all. Just try to put everything under perspective. All subjects should be taught.

 

[AruneBend]

Yes of course music and arts do add some benefits but not as much as science or math plus it's not useful for the government so they will never do something like this for. Sure

It must be both in school. Kids with art learn how to use hands and be creative. Math and science are creative to but on higher level.

Science is the foundation of all development and advancement but we need art to balance the system. All the subjects are important and must be not be neglected. Art makes us to humane while science advances our creativity and technology.

You don't seem to understand the level of revenue that football, for instance, generates for the government of top European leagues. They make money from taxation and from people visiting en masse from other countries to come and watch football.

Education should take into consideration the child's line of interest. A student who is interested in art and music should be allowed to go ahead with it.

In the hierarchy of subjects, no subject is inferior or superior. They all should be treated with equal respect. Gardener's Theory of Multiple Intelligence has advocated for various kinds of intelligence. The school education system should focus on a Holistic Education System and introduce all subjects with the same importance to younger children and in schools. Later, one can choose to pursue a subject for Higher Education based on the line of interest.
Unfortunately in most societies, especially in Asian countries, Maths and Science are given superior treatment and they become the standard to judge the excellence of a student.

All subjects are important. Many administrative officers in our country have come from the humanity/ arts stream. We can't say that just science students are intelligent.

 

[freelancermaria]

I believe that both are equally important and must be taught in schools. And, definitely, every subject is necessary for us to obtain knowledge.

 

[deucher]

I don't think it should be done by force because not all children understand it and some are much better at music and can make an impact on the world with their playing. In my opinion, such education is enough for the child until they reach maturity, and then they should be allowed to choose the direction for improvement

 

[Sanjeev]

Science and maths are important subjects which should be taught compulsorily as it makes people more technology oriented/friendly.

 

[arunima25]

It's very sad state of affairs when certain subjects are forced on students by parents and other adults around as they are considered superior to other subjects. I feel that children should be exposed to all subjects with same reverence and passion. There is no hierarchy of subjects. Later when children come to age of decision, they can choose their passion. Learning should be joyful. It should not become a burden.

Can we make combination like draw atom structure, draw your vision of home inside pyramid but calculate real furniture sizes?

That's a beautiful idea. I am glad that' education systems like Montessori and Waldorf do that. A lot of soul is brought into the curriculum organically. Akl mathematical and science concepts can be taught through stories, art, songs etc. Children learn better when the joy of learning prevails.
