can't this be said about every subject? understanding of history takes time, of philosophy, of literature, text etc.
He is asking why focus on STEM more instead of art? The answer put forward by people is that there are more STEM jobs now. Will there be more STEM jobs tomorrow rather than artistic jobs? We don't know.
Kids have a limited learning time per day, so if you put more STEM time, then you take time from other subjects.
- AstralStorm 7y agoThe answer is that art is not a reliable job and never was. This it is not likely to become one. Even if you extend it to writing, making music, advertisements, taking pictures and making GUI. Unlike these, mathematics (the M in STEM) is almost every other non-physical job that is not data entry. T is the remaining ones that are physical (mechanic, electrician, hydraulic). S covers additionally the teachers themselves, doctors and biologists who don't need as much math. Heck, even modern agriculture. The remainder is probably building, some service works such as sales, nursing, care for small children, purely physical labor, parts of logistics, gardening and forestry.
