I'll just say that I spent my early teaching career involved in art education,
something that helped children unleash their creativity.
Later, I taught elementary grades, including 3rd.
I came across this article, and just want to share it. It gives voice to some of the issues that have compromised the "educational system".
Please read it before you comment. Thanks.
