What is the future of arts education in secondary schools?
Q. I want to teach art in secondary schools, but I have heard a lot about how the NCLB has cut it out of middle and elementary schools and cut back significantly in high school. This is depressing to hear as i really want to be an art teacher, preferably high school. With Obama as president, are their going to be any changes with arts education? Or is one day, the arts going to be cut out of secondary schools forever?

A. Yes, that part of education is being greatly cut. Students who are artistically inclined, like myself, are being completely denied. As for President Obama, he's not by himself, and there are other things that he has put on his agenda BEFORE education - econ., war, etc. So you'll just need patience. in the meantime, I suggest you teach at a democratic school or Sudbury Valley model school. You are free to teach whatever you wish to eager and willing students.

Is a liberal arts education at a private college really worth the price? What do employers look for?
Q. Would a liberal arts education at a public college be any less grand?

A. If I was hiring and you gave me your resume listing a liberal arts education I would consider it a mark against you! I would consider a high school graduate who worked at a fast food place as being the better employee. Liberal arts degree means to me: You have led a sheltered and pampered life, took the easy way out and spent more time partying that learning. You abused limited educational resources while more motivated, intelligent and hard working poor people were denied the opportunity you waisted.

What type of Martial arts should I start taking classes in?
Q. I prefer a type that is strictly self-defense. I have taken classes in TaiChi before, but I would like to practice something that is a little more "physically energetic" so to speak. However, I have heard that TaiChi is the Grandmaster of Martial Arts. Is this true? I am looking for something that has a "philisophy" as well as a physical discipline. I do find Aikido very interesting. I guess what I would be looking for would be a "soft" style?
