On the recordMay 22, 1997
There is a lot--and you probably know this--there is a lot of educational research that shows just as some young people learn better when they're exposed to music and the arts, there are some young people whose learning increases exponentially, even if they're not particularly literate at the time, when they begin to write, and they begin to write stories of their own life and stories of how they want to--so it triggers their imagination in a way that nothing else quite can. So I think it's very important that this be taught, even before it's tested.
