We really are talking about focusing on how do we make kids scholars... Seven hundred and sixty programs. The number of programs for arts promotion and education, and arts are important, are 39. What I did not know is that the arts are more important than science. We only have 28 programs promoting science. But it is good, science is twice as important as reading, because for reading, we only have 14 programs. We know that reading is more important than math, because for math, out of 760 programs, we have all of 9 programs. So we have 28 for science, 14 for reading, 9 for math, 39 for the arts.
