Dear fellow art professionals, Does anyone know where I can read the "No Child Left Behind" proposal? I've seen a few editorials on it and would like to read more on how it affects the Arts. Somewhere I read that Art was equated as a Basic along with Math, English, etc.. But, as meetings are being called in our district on how to address this, I've been told art might possibly take a cut at elementary level, so we can squeeze in more "basics" for better testing scores. When the proposal address arts do they mean music, and drama only and not the visual art? I hope this is addressed at Nationals this Spring. I want to inform me and my fellow art teachers so if we face a battle, we are prepared with some knowledge.
Bergie
