The Board of Governors and the Headmistress have received inquiries from parents who are uncertain about the wisdom of requiring you all to study the topic, of course, and I'm well aware there is a great deal of myth and uncertainty surrounding study of the Arts. There are many aspects to the subject, however, and those you or your classmates have learned up until now are but a very narrow cross-section of the whole. With luck, and a bit of application to your studies on your part, you will come to see the popular misconceptions are just that: misconceptions. If properly led, study of the Arts is perfectly safe, and can be wholly illuminating.
If your parents or guardians object to the study, do encourage them to get in touch with me. I've had several highly productive conversations with concerned parents, and was able to reassure them there is nothing to fear.
Is there a particular area of the Arts you are concerned about? If you let me know what section of the text you chose for your reading, I can perhaps ease your trepidation somewhat; I seem to recall that we ran out of time in your class's session on Tuesday and we did not get a chance to discuss your definitions, or the section you chose to investigate further, but I would be happy to discuss it with you now if you feel that would help. (I will pull your essay from the stack as soon as I've a moment and look into it for you.)
