No Way

In a desperate move, I'm reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss.

Also, here's a summary of a detailed report entitled Arts Education in Secondary Schools: Effects and Effectiveness, published by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER). The report presents the results of a three-year study into the effectiveness of arts education in English and Welsh secondary schools.


The study found that "...there was no sound evidence to support the claim that the arts boost general academic performance...".

Yikes.

Plus: The lovely and late Jeff Buckley does Hallelujah .
