Nate Hale Period 7 __Schools Should Have a Music Program __ Schools should be required to have a music program. First of all, having a music program improves grades. Furthermore, the U.S. is losing its edge and having a music program would improve test scores. Finally, having a music program would give students something to do and keep them out of trouble.

According to **Psychology of Music** having amusic program improves students reading skills and other focusing abilities. There have been multiple studies that have proven that having a music program improves test scores in language, and literacy. Also according to **Sciencedaily.com** learning music improves the ability to learn new languages because it primes both hemispheres of the brain so it would be easier to learn.

With the U.S having dropped to the fourth smartest country in the world shouldn’t we be trying to bring it back up to the top? According to **psmag.com** “…a new study from Canada suggests music lessons may in fact have wide-ranging intellectual benefits. It finds that, among a group of high-performing high school students, grades were consistently higher for those who continued music classes compared to those who dropped them after two years of compulsory training.” America is dropping fast on test scores and schools are starting to have more dropouts, and having a music program would lower dropout rates and improve scores.

According to **teenink.org** music and art programs keep teens focused in school and keep them focused on work. Not only that according to sciencedaily.com, music programs can provide kids with emotional and or physical support.

Some people would argue that schools already have had their budgets cut to the bone. Shouldn’t the government make the schools a priority? I mean the students of today are the future of America and they need a good education. That is why schools should be required to have a music program.

sample of my writing Once in a small town named Dead Wood there was a writer named Alan Wake; he wrote horror stories and had many fans everyone has at least heard of his books. He was raised in Dead Wood but left to scout new places two write stories at; he needed to have new places to have his books take place in. When he came back to Dead Wood where he expected all of his friends to greet him but all that came was angry people and riots. Three months later Alan went missing and never was found. The story will start with a young boy named Jack; he used to live at Dallas, Texas. He loved Alan’s books and read them all many times he loves how he makes it come alive and puts so much detail in to everything he rights.

teacher's point of view

It was the first day of the school year, and it was 95 degrees even though it was only six in the morning. It was the hottest summer in years, and the only thing that would get me out of bed was the alarm clock and the fact that I would get punished docked if I didn’t go and do my job. “Shut up!” I yelled at the alarm clock. I got out of bed and turned off the alarm, after I stumbled out the door to my bedroom and slowly got dressed. Soon I saw my watch and dropped my coffee and ran for the door. I forgot the time change! I jumped in the car and speeded down the street. Luckily any policemen didn’t see me because I would have gotten a ticket. But my luck ended there because by the time I got to the school the back door was looked I had to climb through the window, nothing was going to stop me from keeping my vacation day; until when I finally got in the principle walked in right when I had half of my body in the window. “Hey.” Said the principle “Awe come on!” I said in disappointment “I told you would regret it if you were late again.” Said the principle trying to hide his anger. “What do I have to do now?” I asked “The janitor is sick today, you're going to clean the cafeteria after school.” Answered the principle “I’m actually glad you where late today, if you weren’t I would have to. “Fine.” I said in utter defeat. When the principal left I sat down and said, “Ok get to work.” “Sir today is the first day of school.” A random kid said from the middle of the class. “Oh yeah I have a work sheet for whoever said that!” I said. After I said that there was I silence for a second so I broke the silence,” ok then today will be one of few days we will have a you don’t bother me I won’t bother you day, ok.” I sat back down and ripped out the newspaper, and started reading. Maybe an hour later the bell rang for second period and all the kids got up and walked out. Second period is the time where I don’t have any classes it’s my free time. I walked down the hall into the teacher’s lounge and poured me another mug of coffee. That gave me an hour and a half to just drink coffee and read the paper. The teacher’s lounge is a small room painted white and has a badge celling; there is nothing in it except a fridge, a table, a coffee maker, and a microwave. The coffee always came out black no matter what you did to it. And the fridge was always stuffed with things that no one ate. I don’t know why the fridge was still there considering that almost all the rooms had their own no one used it. The bell rang a couple minutes after I finished the paper and now comes the easiest period for me to teach second period. I teach science and everyone in second period is in-between to tired to do anything wrong or just really good students. First period is full of football players and juvenile delinquents; there are only a few students that are really good and committed to the class. “Ok kids I know most of you had me last year but it will be a lot harder this year.” I said as I walked into the room. When I didn’t here anything I looked up to see that everyone was gone! I looked around to find the key to my desk and when I finally found it I opened my desk and took out my laptop and looked at the camera footage and they didn’t even walk into the room.
