Can you hear the people rant?

It came as a surprise when I happened across a rant that actually made sense from a blog titled - honest - "Substance-less." Nicole (one of the founding members of this blog) rails at the general disdain and aversion to the Arts.

She rants and rambles and raves, and in doing so, she spills her SPM fears and wonders how scholarships can be given to students who excel in both their studies and extra-curricular activities when Malaysian schools focus on nothing but their studies.

But then… When people said that LKW or Arts are for students who can’t excel in their studies… I felt VERY upset.

Whats wrong with Arts???? Whats wrong if people who can do well in their studies want to do Arts???? So stupid people take Arts???? ‘Stupid’ people become successful designers- even Millionaires????? LKW is for stupid and rich people???????? Like dumb blondes?????

I hate… Detest the fact that people usually categorize the Arts students as the ‘not-so-smart’ ones. Not just the society, schools but the government as well. Do you see the government encouraging students to take up Arts?? To be in the Arts stream or encourage us to be creative??

I don’t think so.
At least not in my school, I don’t see that.
