The trouble is, public education in general is falling out of favor in the US. There is also little practical acknowledgement of the positive impact music education has on achievement in mathematics and other "core" areas, as well as the benefits of learning how to perform in public, the discipline of regular practice, teamwork, self-esteem, etc. without the health hazards of a contact sport like football, which gets enormous funding in my town despite the fact that only a small group of boys participate.
