Suggestion

 School districts differ from one another in size, location, administration, curricula and financial resources. But it does seem a trend that sports—extracurricular activities-- are getting increased funding, booster support, larger stadiums and corporate sponsorships while the arts—part of the curriculum--are getting funding cuts.

So here’s my suggestions for addressing the problem. Require that classical music be played on all school buses (kids have easy access to pop music all the time). Require that in each grade from second on each student must do a self-portrait (take a look at how they see themselves). Require that every athlete must take a dance class (to learn alternate ways to discover the language of their bodies).
