"The art of teaching the arts means far more than getting students to see the arts as 'nice' or 'fun.' It means providing them with in-depth access to the content of the arts as academic
disciplines."
This assertion stood out to me because it answers the question of why arts should be in the school-systems. Many people look at the arts as just a "fun" or "goof-off" time because they might have been taught that way, but the teachers they had may have approached the subject wrong. Music class is not just about singing songs, it is about learning the meanings behind the lyrics, knowing the history behind music, and knowing musical terms and how to apply them.
