For most individuals school is a chore. It's seen as a mandatory activity forced onto the population of kids 16 and under. However, for some children school is an escape from a hard home life. While this was not the case for me, I believe in some cases this is absolutely true. For these kids school is a safe haven where their good actions and efforts are noticed and rewarded.
Specifically, fine art programs provides a direct outlet for children. Music, theater, & art classes allow expression and release. In a time where these programs are often being cut because of dwindling budgets, school boards need to keep this in consideration. The outlet of fine arts is valued by many students, but specifically the students that need an escape from their everyday life.
