The title and abstract of this paper refer to the idea of incorporating arts into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The author makes several broad statements about the failures of the education system, but offers only rhetoric as a solution. As a professional educator, I have observed this type of discussion in the public domain on a regular basis. The author raises some valid points, but most of these are well known, already understood, and being addressed in a number of educational systems across the Western world. The discussion highlights the lack of variety in assessment tasks in education systems, and points out the prevalence of multiple-choice tests; these statements could have been supported by facts.
