Budget cuts are forcing schools to end programs involving creative expression.

Budget woes

Schools cry

Cuts in the arts

Education denied

No more painting

No singing from the choir

No more creativity

For young minds to aspire

Just cut, cut, cut

Artistic expression has to go

And Norman Rockwell weeps

Say it aint so

    It does seem a shame. It’s all league tables now. We are no longer expected to educate the whole child. There is a strong message in your words.
