As someone who grew up “A” and migrated to “STEM” later: No.
1) Art is dramatically different from the math and sciences. I can do both and it is a huge context switch to go from analytical and creative and back. I always feel like the other half of my brain suffers when I pick one.
2) The addition of art means that STEAM is basically general education. So what’s the point?
3) I think one of the goals of STEM was to promote getting children into technical high paying jobs where there was a severe labor shortage. You’re not going to get more programmers or engineers with a music or art degree.
