we all have to take standardized tests, that see us all the same. we pick electives based on what we want in our lives, and without them we're all the same blob of boring nothings who have the same qualities about them.

They are part of what is known as a "Liberal Arts" education.

Really, I think what you have are all great reasons; you just need to expand on them.

Research on how the arts help students and that should lead you to the huge amout of research done on the topic.

You could also try the NTA (national teachers association) as they may have some information as well.

1. Some students are not preparing to go to a regular college. They want to enter vocational programs, which electives best prepare them for.

2. Some students plan to become professional musicians, and schools like Julliard or the New England Music Conservatory want to see their passion for music expressed in school Orchestra or Band programs.

3. Students may discover passions for future careers by enrolling in a music class or in drama.

4. Courses like Auto Shop and Home Ec prepare are highly applicable to any lay person’s life. Unlike Chemistry or Biology, these courses are important to a student right then and in his or her future life, not just for college. Hence the name, " ‘life’ skills."

5. Many studies have correlated programs like art and music to better grades. An AP news article (link below) says "High school students who take music lessons and join theater groups do better in math, reading, history, geography and citizenship, according to a study of Education Department data to be published today."

I hope I helped!

Comment on Auto Body Repairs For Every Car! by Cochise

Wyoming Tech in Laramie is an excellent school and you’ll get a good useful education there.

UTI is also very good, but probably much more expensive – believe me, you do not want to come out of school with any more debt than you can help. The advantage of the proprietary schools like UTI is [in my experience] they really hustle to get you placed in a job.

Since you are coming from the Sacramanento area, and probably are a California resident, why don’t you check out the programs at local California state and community schools. Same or similar training to the proprietary schools, and much much much less expensive.

Here are a few places to check out:

Yuba Community College District
Marysville, CA

Solano Community College
Fairfield, CA

Santa Rosa Junior College
Santa Rosa, CA

Modesto Junior College
Modesto, CA

Contra Costa College
San Pablo, CA

Columbia College
Sonora, CA

College of Marin: Kentfield
Kentfield, CA

Chabot College
Hayward, CA

Also, wherever you go, make sure you take some business courses and at least one tax course so that you can learn to be successful.

Good luck to you – I wish more students were as focused and realistic as you are.

Help! Auto Body Technician School….?
Funny story actually. For the past 10 years, one of the cars I’ve always wanted to own was a 1972 Mazda RX3 or a 1976 Nissan Laurel SGX (Japanese Muscle). I found a lot of them for pretty cheap but the body (on every single one of them) needed major work. It was either damages from collision or body rot, and so on. I thought to myself, The car itself is at least $2-$3 grand and on top of that, I might need to pay someone a few more grand to repair the body. So I came up with an conclusion: I’m going to get this car regardless but since it’s so old, regardless which one I buy, it’s going to need some bodywork done do it. Since I’m into (but do not know how to) repair and refinish auto body, this might work out perfectly and I can repair the car myself for a fraction of the price. And now:

I’m interested in starting a career as a collision/auto body repairer. I was looking at UTI and WyoTech. I do not know if WyoTech offers training in auto body repair as it did not show anything on thier website but it’s one of the automotive school that’s close by. I, personally, would do the research myself, but it may be extensive and maybe others were in the same situation and had already come up with an resolution.

What I want to know is:

-What are the pro’s and con’s of both? If any?
-Which is more reputable?
-Which is more expensive?
-Which has more hands-on, better quality instructor & training?
-Which assists in job placement?
-What are the duration of each?

I apologize for the many questions but if there’s any UTI or WyoTech graduates or other who knows, please reply and tell me how your experience was. Please try not to be biased as this is really important to me. Which school was better and why? Also if it helps, my location is based out of Sacramento, California. Thanks.
