I really found Erica’s article about increasing math and reading to be horrific. As a social science major I see the importance of learning beyound standarized tests. Almost completly doing away with history, geography, music, and art leaves the child cultureless and ignorant to the world around them. How does this make a better more educated student? I really likes Erica’s idea about increasing math and reading in elementary school. Many of subjects outside of these two subjects are reiderated again and middle and high school and can be talked about in greater depth. It would be more benifical to start early if this is what a school district is worried about. I sincerely hope that this shift does not become nation wide because not only are we depriving kids of an adequate education but I am out of a job.
