Recently SPERD held the Fine Arts Showcase at Racette featuring talent from across the division. Hundreds of parents and community members came to view pictures on display and hear kids perform. It was awesome. Most commercial artists would give their left arm to have an audience like that.
One of the best things that public education has to offer is variety and expertise. There is no way I could teach my daughter to play alto sax at home or giver her the opportunity to play in front of a crowd. Although my daughter didn't participate in this showcase, she will have similar chances in the future through public education.
While computers offer education anytime, anyplace, a computer program can't replace hands on teaching in areas such as fine arts.
