School: It’s way more boring than when you were there
New studies show that the disappearance of art, music and even recess is having a devastating effect on kids

To me, this is a really scary statement:
“When reading and math count and nothing else does, then less time and resources are devoted to non-tested subjects like the arts, science, history, civics and so on,” education historian Diane Ravitch, a well-known high-stakes testing critic and one-time proponent, writes in an email to Salon.
When did science become a non-tested subject? That alone would explain a huge amount why the creationist movement has gathered so much strength, kids are never exposed to an alternative!
