Some of the most brilliant minds in the history of humanity have never grabbed a book in their hands. Like Victoria Beckham, for instance. Pure genius of a woman.

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Music Man wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Something that irritates me, however, is the manner in which schools and society in general praise and worship enthusiasm in reading. Perhaps I can understand reading to familiarize yourself with the classics is one thing, as such familiarity is tantamount to knowledge and may even help with an English degree. But reading the reams of utter literary garbage that pervades the modern publishing industry should not be promoted. Enthusiastic reader...Why don't you reward me for being an enthusiastic text messager or an enthusiastic bowler or some other nonsense like that?

But it's true, reading DOES expand your vocabulary, creativity, and intellect. It allows you to learn about many subjects you normally wouldn't, and helps you very much in writing things like papers. Comparing things written by friends of mine that read often and friends of mine that don't, I can definitely see the difference.
And music programs DO promote good grades. If kids find something at school they can be interested in, whether music, sports, or another program, they will be more devoted to school in general.
