  2. Students connect to each other better – greater camaraderie, fewer fights, and reduced use of hurtful sarcasm.
  3. Performing arts change the environment to one of discovery, re-igniting the love of learning in general.
  4. Arts provide challenges for students at all levels and all can find their own level, automatically.
  5. Students are connected to the world of real work where theater and music have an appeal to a growing consumer public.
  6. Some students nor ordinarily reached in the classroom may be inspired in a new way.
