I fully support Arts education .... but ... I am not pleased with the attempt to co-opt STEM and turn it to STEAM. The whole reason we came up with STEM was to put some increased focus on the sciences. Kids just didn't have the exposure to Engineering , Math, Science and Technology education when we started discussing STEM and it's importance. That doesn't mean we don't think training or learning about the arts are important too as the speaker has pointed out. But don't attach it to STEM please. It's kind of akin to taking the National Endowment for the Arts and saying "Let's change this to the National Endowment for the Arts and Technology".

The arts are important because they are a lost art/lost talent in creating something WITHOUT technology
