I believe that this article is hitting very close to home for most of us. Our public school systems can definitely learn a thing or two from discussing and taking options from parents of children who attend this school. Reading and Math are not the only subjects in which children and school systems should be classified on.
Learning beyond math and reading. See why these advocates encourage intelligence in different ways.
Reading and math are not the only important subjects for students.
As important as reading and math are in today’s society, art, music and health classes are equally important. These elective classes are actually more important in my opinion because they teach students life lessons that will be carried through to their adult life. Our students need to be more educated in these specific areas.
More than 50 school librarians, arts and music advocates, nurses and parents who came out Wednesday night to an Indiana Department of Education community meeting urged officials to start factoring things like music, health and art into the state’s accountability system.

Key takeaways
- One request is for the state to fund a nurse for each school.
- Funding training for teachers to deal with students who have experienced traumas is another request.
- Advocates plead for funding to the neglected yet important subjects of music and art.
Take the dyscalculia test
Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
