Yup.
Schools pay too much attention to the arts and not enough towards their real function - equipping the future generation to find jobs.I don't think any of the schools pay too much attention to the arts at the expense of job training. I think too much attention is paid to sports at the expense of job training (unless you're going to be a professional player).
But then, I also believe that schools should do more than just train the next generation of worker-consumers.
Rather than being one statement, I think that that one statement should be at least three statements:
#1. Schools spend too much attention on the arts.
(strongly disagree, most kids today know nothing of the arts except for rap music and transgretional stuff like Maplethorp)
#2. Schools real function is equipping the future generation to find jobs. (disagree, their real function should be education)
#3. Schools spend too much attention on the wrong subjects.
(strongly agree, most kids are taught to be worker-consumers rather than how to think and the basics of debate and how to research and so forth)
So, from strongly disagree to strongly agree. And that's one of the simple ones. :)
