Playing the Piano Makes Your Child Smarter and Mentally Healthier

By Carole Hornsby Haynes July 15, 2022

Trillions of taxpayers dollars have been spent on public education yet American workers are the least well educated in the industrialized world.  Advocates for universal pre-K claim we can make kids smarter by sending them to structured classes almost before they’re potty trained.  Decades of studies show otherwise.  The mental health crisis among students continues to worsen despite the primary focus of public education on social and emotional earning.

The Uvalde, Texas school massacre did not happen because an 18-year-old had access to guns. Instead, it was a walking testimony to the moral bankruptcy of modern America and the hollowing out of the American home. A broken home, no father or father figure in his life, a mother who reportedly struggled with drug addiction, no church or community of any kind, no real friends except those Salvador Ramos met through social media.
