What is the future of arts education in secondary schools?
Q. I want to teach art in secondary schools, but I have heard a lot about how the NCLB has cut it out of middle and elementary schools and cut back significantly in high school. This is depressing to hear as i really want to be an art teacher, preferably high school. With Obama as president, are their going to be any changes with arts education? Or is one day, the arts going to be cut out of secondary schools forever?

A. Yes, that part of education is being greatly cut. Students who are artistically inclined, like myself, are being completely denied. As for President Obama, he's not by himself, and there are other things that he has put on his agenda BEFORE education - econ., war, etc. So you'll just need patience. in the meantime, I suggest you teach at a democratic school or Sudbury Valley model school. You are free to teach whatever you wish to eager and willing students.

A. as many different types as you can,starting with a stand up style.or a style that is well rounded.heres a bit of info. A good well rounded style would be freestyle Karate.You will learn stand up,ground,grappling and weapons.What a lot of people don't understand is that freestyle Karate is about practical street defence not who can kick the highest or punch a pad the hardest.It's definitely not a sport martial art like TKD or BJJ.The motto of my style is the best of everything in progression.Basically that means we don't care where the technique comes from we improve it and integrate it into our style while still maintaining tradition as do most freestyle Karate's. The hardest thing is finding a good experienced instructor.I would recommend… [cont.]
