Summary: This article is about the studies going on about the colleges in New York City and reasons why students drop out. The conclusion they came upon was that strong arts programs like music persuade students to stay in school.
Reflection: I agree with this article because arts programs are a good way to escape the stresses of everyday life. They give students a reason to think that school is fun and have something to look forward to every day.
Evidence: Only 56% of students in New York City graduated in 2008. After adding arts programs, more people stayed in school. Also, the majority of people who had arts activities to do became more successful in life.
