Addressing the alarming drop-out rate in our high schools, this book presents a thoughtful, evidence-based argument that increasing arts education in the high school curriculum will keep kids in school. The author shares voices of teachers and learners to demonstrate how courses in the arts are valuable to students who have otherwise become disenfranchised from school.
