Re: [Mpls] Arts in the schools - revisited

[Elizabeth Greenbaum]

that's YOUR job as the scientist  - since I'm less of a person for being 
an artist I suppose I just don't have the desire or time or inclination 
- I have other fish to fry... 
May I suggest you go to Finland ...

I found this listed on a web site that was brought to my attention. 
Seemed apropos to our earlier arts in the schools discussion. 
To appease Michael Atherton, though that may not be possible, this is 
from the Dana Foundation web site - which tracks and funds brain research 
and neuroscience <www.dana.org>.  One of it's big interests is 
neuroscience and education, and they are particularly interested and fund 
arts in education. If he can't get his answers there or from possible links, 
then maybe he should do his own study right here in the Mpls. schools - 
do it quickly, though, before the arts are completely cut due to lack of 
funding.
   

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?
