+226 Kids who are gifted in the arts should be put in a special school right when they start schooling. That way, they won't get scolded for doing things they're very good at. (i.e. doodling/drawing) amirite?

I once got in trouble for doodling in art class.

You're so right!

It'd be expensive one way or another. Either it's a private school, which means the parents pay for it and it's pricey. Or it's a public school which means tax payers pay more taxes. Plus, what if they don't want to go to a separate art school?

However, the teachers of that school would need to make sure they focus on other subjects as well, because there aren't as many people who make livings as an artist as other people.

It would get overcrowded because every parent thinks their child is gifted.

Kids who are gifted in the arts should be put in a special school right when they start schooling. That way, they won't ever have a chance of getting a real job, because their only "talent" is art....

every parent would want their kid to go to a special school, and lets be honest, drawing doesn't exactly make a career.

I completely agree doodling should not be scolded, but not only is being an successful artist very difficult (at least until you're dead) it also isolates kids from other people their age, which is extremely important for social skills

K also, when you're like 5 years old starting school, you don't necessarily know that you are/will be artistically talented.

Yeah because learning how to read and write isn't needed in the world

I would have hated art kf I went to an art school...but I love it now and even the art teachers complement my work. I dont honestly think I'm that good though :/

Or they could fucking pay attention in class. Just because they can draw doesn't mean they don't need school.
