🎨 Have we forgotten the arts in our education debates? As negotiations continue for public school salaries and staffing in Valencia, artistic disciplines like music, dance, and design are sidelined once again. The current focus overlooks the critical value these fields bring to our society and cultural identity. It’s disheartening to see such vital components of education treated as an afterthought. I often reminisce about how arts education shaped my creativity and critical thinking. Why aren’t these experiences being valued in the same breath as traditional subjects? Let’s not let these artistic voices drown in the negotiation process. They deserve to be heard just as much as any other field of study.
