science focus. the music teacher has the kids singing about the planet, singing about nutrition, about food. very different ways to teach, but ways to instill lesson that is will stay with kids for a life time >> two things come to mind, because i have said on my program, in education nation, past conversations with you, about arts and music education. it's the first thing that's hit the chopping block here with the cuts in the district of columbia. and i have parents calling me and asking me about public school education, which is now devoid of arts and music, which, in my own case, you know, a million years ago in public school in new york, was my entry into the world of classical music and opera, you know, opera in particular, but classical music and jazz, which hen changed my life. so what do we do about a whole generation of kids who don't have the opportunity that i had when, in first grade, somebody put a violin in my hand, which was owned by the school district. >> these are great questions, and none have easy answers. i think, andrea, as a country, we are fighting a battle right now
