Why Have Balance in Their Studies?

STEM has been a buzz word for a few years, and yes, those fields are very important to study but so is art, so is music, so is literature. My children study math, science, and history but they also study Shakespeare, Pope, DuBussy, David, Homer, and other masters of the arts.

Why? I don't want them to be like Darwin. He lost himself in science and was no longer able to enjoy poetry or art. Life would be so empty without the beauty of art. How much more peaceful could our lives be by adding a little beauty to it by taking time to view art or listen to beautiful music?
