Several months ago I heard a report on NPR which addressed the art/math
topic. According to the interviewee, a recent study showed that students
who were in both art and math classes consistently achieved higher math
scores than students who took math but not art.

Ya, it's no wonder both my sons are honor students in light of the above
statement. Genetics perhaps but learned behaviors of valuing art,
creative expression and creative problem solving run in familles too.
The problem isn't really math here but reactions to a denial of the
development of right brain functions and abilities and an overemphasis
on the left. Technically, this is truly a society of mental imbalance.
