School timetables
Performing arts and drama to be removed from school curricula and replaced by the separate sciences, foreign languages, etc. that have been squeezed out to make room for them. Mainstream universities to have funding withdrawn for drama and performing arts courses.

If kids want to sing, dance or act, they can do them at after school clubs like they used to, and if they're any good they can still go to drama school, ballet school, etc.

Most current drama departments in schools and universities only exist to give jobs to the university drama and performing arts graduates who are not good enough or lucky enough to make it as a professional actor/dancer/singer/theatre technician/director etc. so if we remove the jobs creating the demand we can remove the training for it too. Dedicated theatre schools are fine, because they've never been state funded to any great degree.

And it might discourage kids from turning into this

We should stop teaching PE too, as PE teachers only exist to create more PE teachers.

And history. And geography.
Er, ok, let's split the difference, close the schools, and send the kids up chimneys or something.

Male PE teachers will fuck anything (given the chance).
Female PE teachers are, without exception, homosexual.

All PE teachers are thick.

And history as well.
That just exists to create history teachers.

Everyone!
But they can all safely learn from a well presented leaflet in a few minutes rather than run the risk of exposure to psycho geography teachers.

No,

Yeah, good idea
Nothing like making the arts elitist and inaccessible to the working classes, innit?

"Making"?

( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Mon 26 Sep 2011, 20:13, closed)

Perhaps I should be more clear:
I acknowledge that making a career in the arts is still seen as elitist. It requires money and the time to commit to a 'useless' enterprise. However, there's a huge difference between having something be inaccessible at a Higher Education level, and denying access to children who are still finding out where their talents lie.
