I agree very much with Ken and how the schools do not focus enough on the arts. Growing up I loved drama and acting and just flat out making a fool of myslef in front of everyone, but going through public school where drama was rarely done unless we had finished the lesson for that time or it was a snowday. by grade 8 there was drama in the ciriculum but we hardly ever did drama we would go outside and do physical education instead.
When it came to the art of writing we would focus on that a lot and same with drawing and stuff but i felt that drama and acting had been left out greatly and that going through school and having teachers say im not creative because i cant write a short story or draw a picture really brought me down.

Nice, short but to the point. Where I went to school they taught us a little dance(the macarana) but no drama. I agree in elementary everything was very by the book. Dont you hate it when the art teacher says they are going to help but then does the rest fo the project for you?
