Stem Vs. Steam

This goes back to my post about the lack of interest in the humanities.  I don't believe that it is the children's fault for not pursuing humanities...it is with the parents, school, and government.  Schools really have to be pushing STEM now.  STEM is a teaching method based on pushing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.  I don't understand how the arts would never have been considered or as to why they didn't seem to be of any importance.  This is just showing how people higher up are really changing how our children learn and what about.  The method of pushing STEAM instead of STEM makes so much more sense to allow the children to really have a wider variety of lessons and subjects to base their intelligence off of.  Everyone is different and some people really excel in the arts so deprive a child of that doesn't make sense to me.  & it truly should lie with the parents in the end that they are trying to introduce and teach their child as many subjects as possible.  Teaching can never be left just to the school; it is just not sufficient enough to teach a child all they need to know in life.
