Our culture’s undervaluation of the arts and critical thinking is more than an educational gap—it’s a systemic issue deeply embedded in our society.

The problem starts with an education system that sidelines these subjects, treating them as non-essential compared to STEM fields.

This is compounded by an economic reality where many parents are stretched thin, working multiple jobs to make ends meet.

When parents, the primary influencers in a child's life, are too preoccupied, they have less opportunity to foster creativity and critical thinking in their children.

We’re losing something vital: the ability to think broadly, question deeply, and appreciate the world through a creative lens.

It's not just about changing what we teach; it’s about fundamentally revaluing what we consider important in our schools and homes.

We need to create space for arts and critical thinking, recognizing them as essential skills that help shape well-rounded, thoughtful individuals prepared for the complexities of modern life.
