Public Schools Should not Fund School Bands.
My opponet gurantees that band would be the first to go if the goverment cut funding
to schools. Is this really true? There no evidences to support this claim. My opinion
is if Federal government cut funding it gives to schools the first thing that would
good would not be band but maybe a smaller extracurricular activity like the chess
clubs. What I am trying to say is that many students participate in band. So why cut
funding for something that many students seem to enjoy and help them mentally more
than other extracurricular activity. Another reason schools should fund band is because
it would good on your college application. Ofcourse academics is one of the most important things colleges look for when students
are appling for college but colleges also look at what extracurricular activities
,like band, students participant in. Students that are involve in extracurricular activities shows colleges that they
can make a worthy contribution toward something, maintain a long commentment, and
shows that a student can manage their time and priorties [2]. My opponent miss understood
the music help students smarter. My opponent said "They can listen to music in their
free time." which he thought listening to music help improve people intelligents like
playing music. What I meant in my first argurment that playing music like singing
or playing an instrument improves your knowlege not just listening to it. Learning
how to play music is quite difficult, you have to learn the different notes, technique,
how to read time signiture, and etc. After learning quarter, whole, half, and eight
notes 2nd and 3rd graders scored 100% higher than their classmates in fractions [1].
And in your arguement on "Acticile 1 Section 8 U.S. Constitution states what the Federal
Government has the right to fund" which I could not find in the source you gave us.
