Do you think music and art should be compulsory subjects in Vietnamese schools? Why yes, why not?

Guide to answer

I don’t think music and arts should be compulsory subjects at school because of some reasons:

First, students have to learn so many subjects at school now. They must study both at school and at home. This makes student life so stressful.

Second, some students like music and arts while some don’t like them. Maybe they like sports or outdoor activities or something else, so music and arts shouldn’t be compulsory subjects.
