It's not that hard to appease me just cite valid empirical studies to support your arguments; don't cite an entire website. It gives the illusion of validity, but there's no substance. But I can be suckered, so I looked and I can't find any studies linking academic achievement and arts education. Perhaps I missed them, could you identify them for me?
