Abstract	Today's schools are preparing children, starting at an early age, for future educational and career opportunities that will help them succeed. With strict standards that must be met, measured in part by testing, it's not unusual for both time and funding to be shifted away from arts education to achieve this goal. While this might seem like a reasonable reaction at first, it overlooks an important fact. Numerous studies correlate arts, music and theater programs with creating future opportunities for children, up to and including increasing their rates of enrollment in higher education. The urgency of this disparity drives an annual National Arts in Education Week, observed just last month. The congressionally backed advocacy event encourages teachers, students, parents and advocates to get involved in protecting arts education at both local and national levels. Arts education has the potential to deliver long-term positive impact to children. The three benefits listed in this article demonstrate how study of the arts, music and theater bolster kids at their current grade level and prepare them for ongoing success. (ERIC).
