Question

Nicole is writing an argumentative essay about the importance of the arts in education. She includes the following:

Arts education isn't just fun and games. A public school in Brooklyn that incorporated art across all core-content areas
showed an almost 10 percent increase in language arts and math test scores and a decrease in student absences. To
reinforce the need for expanded arts education, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences says, "we are at a crisis
point, where access to arts education is declining steadily-and action must be taken to reverse the trend." Clearly
there is a correlation between student success and the inclusion of arts in schools and it's time for the country to take
notice.
