Our school has to raise money for music and science Program. As for arts, we have parent volunteers coming in and teaching the kids.

Surprisingly we had a free music program with free equipment rental. Thanks to mama, she pushed us into taking advantage or the program. I don't think we can find the same opportunity anymore. The government spend ~10k per child and all we can afford to do is basic reading & math. Yeah I am worried too. I went to a local public school in Sactown.
