Summary
Problem:
All children are not receiving equal opportunities and exposure to the arts as a part of their formal education.
Hypothesis:
The unequal distribution of art education for students is detrimental to their personal and academic development. The lack of exposure to the arts results in an inability for the students to express themselves on several levels.
Data:
As of the 1999-2000 school year, 94 percent of elementary schools offered music instruction, and even less, only 87 percent, offered visual arts. A mere 20 percent offered dance, and 19 percent offered drama and theater (US Department of Education). Ninety-four percent may seem like a lot, but that means that 6 percent of elementary schools do not offer music. Six percent is not that small of a number, but when you consider how many elementary schools there are in the United States it begins to grow.
