It's not that hard to appease me just cite valid empirical studies
to support your arguments; don't cite an entire website.  It
gives the illusion of validity, but there's no substance.  But I can
be suckered, so I looked and I can't find any studies linking 
academic achievement and arts education.  Perhaps I missed them,
could you identify them for me?
