“
You
know,the soft subjects,
”
says the boy in maths,
“
the
easy ones:the stupid girls at the bottom take
shouldn
’
t even
be a subject
.”
We
’
re choosing subjects for
our A-level taster day at
school.I see
the raised eyebrows when I explain two of my GCSE
(General Certificate of Secondary
Education) choices are dance and drama.
I was told by advisers that dance and
drama wouldn
’
t help me to
get a suitable friends
told me
I
’
d get bored of dance and
switch to science within the first month.
But taking GCSE dance was the best
decision I ever gives me something to pour my
head and heart gives me a feeling of
belonging,creativity,security and freedom.
The education secretary Nicky Morgan
has put emphasis on science,technology,engineering
and
maths (STEM),saying that students
who focus on the arts risk their ng young people
from
expressing themselves at such a
young age is not doing them any s Nicky Morgan has
forgotten to open the door of having a
drive to study that subject day in,day
shouldn
’
t matter what
that subject is.
I
don
’
t doubt the influence
that STEM subjects can have on the people that
love to force
children into one field
is much as I try,I
’
m not
good at and don
’
t love
physics,biology or
maths.I
don
’
t want a career in these
areas.
There has been a decrease in the
number of state schools offering arts subjects
taught by specialist
teachers.I
can
’
t even imagine how it
feels to be told that you
don
’
t teach a
“
real
subject
”
by an
8-year-
old boy.
To the
teachers,the parents,the government I say:Let
children make their own them live

Have you ever caught yourself
saying,

when you talk one on one but seem to
