Ok we have schools which are specialist schools at secondary level....some are performing arts based...others are academies with a strong background in computers or other subjects.
But why can't there be middle schools for DC aged 8 plus where the arts are stronger than the academic subjects?
People will say "Oh but 8 is too young to specialise" well I disagree. I know my 8 year old is very strong in arts based subjects and struggles with maths and science.
I know this. I see it. She's like me and she would be better off in a school where she could concentrate on building her art subjects....performance, creative writing, painting, media, music etc.
That way, she would be better prepared for a career in one or more of these fields....is it a bad idea? Why?
