Find Music School

I am doing research for my music education class and have to have a speech about 2-5 min on how if i was a elementary principal and i was against music being in my school what would be the basis of my argument. Of course i am not against music but my character is against in and need some help.
Anybody any information?
So Can anybody give me reasons why people would be against music being in public schools?
Good I think these answers will help me a lot.

This is a tough argument. I can hardly find a reason at all to defend your argument. I never liked when teachers made us take opposing views. I'm sure it's all for a good reason.

Let me think..

Perhaps you can say that music would restrict students ability to concentrate. Instead of focusing on their work, they would want to sing or play instruments all day. School is about WORK not PLAY! You could also say that students may prefer one type of music over the other and that could cause problems in the classroom.

Now, that's just an idea. Another problem that I really see with music in my rural classroom is that it causes people to get upset. For example, if we listen to a rap song in class and the students hear a racial comment about white students, they start trying to have racial discussions. (I teach high school). So, I have stopped listening to the radio in class. I used to use it as a reward on a Friday and I would alternate station preference. You maybe could use this in your paper.

Good luck! I can't see how music would really harm education. It can be used in so many ways as a learning tool.

The School for the Performing Arts is located on 100 Amsterdam Avenue near 46th Street in the heart of New York City’s theater district.

I am writing a paper for my English 102 course on music being cut from schools and how NCLb is playing an effect in all of this. I would love insight and solutions as well as articles that would help aid in my research and writing of this paper. Thank you so much in advance.
This is for a paper. I understand where you all are coming from but I need information to back and support my thesis on the No Child Left Behind law and how it is affecting music in our schools. Thank you to those of you who have answered already but your answers are not what I am looking for.

you can say something to maybe the head of the school, the govener, or the board of education. it would also help to explain why you want to keep music and why it is important. its best to have at least 3 reasons. i think that would help the most.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Do you think there's a huge impact on young people today because so many art and music classes are being done away with in schools because of money concerns? What kind of impact will it have in the future? Should they be brought back or re-instated and cut budgets elsewhere?

A society rises and falls by its support of the arts. Never did a society in history rise without honoring and supporting the arts. Likewise, never has a society fallen without first letting its interest in art and music wane.
