We all know those students who actually “enjoy” school. That’s awesome, and as a future teacher that makes my heart very happy, but what about the students who don’t enjoy subjects relating to Math and English? As the American Education system progresses the number of non-curricular classes continues to decrease, as the number of curriculum based classes increases. For such a technologically advanced country our students aren’t showing very high test scores, therefore as a result curriculum based classes are being used as the solution.

For a student, almost every class has a lecture and some sort of assignment to follow that is generally homework. As they go to every class period they can easily become stressed by everything that piles up, so having a period where they take their mind away from these stresses can help stimulate their desire to then return to these studies with confidence. These classes are good for the student’s wellness, but it’s hard to provide money for both curricular based classes and non-curricular classes. Either way, one or the other and more often than not, both subjects end up not having enough or poor supplies for class. A school budget is really tough to balance as the expenses pile up, as the budget is observed it’s tough to note that the math classes need new textbooks, but the music program needs more instruments. Most definitely in today’s world, math is more of a necessity so the money will probably go towards new
