ENG311: English and Maths are more important subjects than Art and Music

I personally consider intelligence should be defined by individuals. However, because we live in societies, we greatly have to follow what the society has set up. I agree with exersice3 that why is certain academic intelligence treated more importantly than others – for example, visual art. In general, I believe many societies (typically schools and parents) value the grades in math, language and science of their children more than art/music. In fact, my parents always look at my math and English grades first and then look at my art grade in the end.
I agree with the argument some people may have that math, language and science compose the basics of education. Many generations have valued these areas of education and the sequence is still continuing. Math makes logic. Language explores our skills of expressing feelings and (hopefully) improves our writing ability. Science are generally study and understanding of facts/theories/laws – where we generally can use the information worldwide.
