Art classes are among the first to go when budgets become tight. I live in Florida and when we moved here in 1987 with our 3 children the first grader was placed in a Portable classroom with a teacher hired at the last minute and given no money for supplies of any type.

Public education in Florida is a disgrace...our children eventually ended up in private schools.
