Personal commentary

In my 31 years of teaching, I saw some very gifted students graduate from Adair County High School and go on to pursue careers in the arts.

Too often we think of art as being only recreational.



However, I would like to point out that Adair County has an amazing number of its former students that are engaged in careers in the arts. These include: Fine art, graphic design, animation, film, architecture, landscape architecture, CAD design and interior design.

Not including art in career pathways is totally ridiculous! What happens to the students that are creative? The special ones that can not be tested, sifted and put into the state dictated "pathways." What does this tell us about a well rounded educational system? - Henrietta Scott
