‘Girl Meets World’ season 2, episode 14 preview: A longer look at ‘Girl Meets Creativity’
The first thing that we really want to do in this particular “Girl Meets World” preview is rather simple, and that is mention that if you like it when these characters show off more of their creative side, you’ll enjoy Friday night’s episode.
Gone are the days of Sheppard and questions about romance (at least briefly) in “Girl Meets Creativity.” In its place, what you have here for the most part is a story that is going to encompass more of how the students at John Quincy Adams are going to fight the school board to ensure that arts education is important and should not be cut. This storyline should feel very familiar for those who watched “Glee” for so many years.
The struggle for this show could be trying to illuminate the complexity of this issue in a short amount of time. We have a hard time imagining that there is anyone out there completely dismissing the arts, but what is more of an issue here is whether or not there is adequate funding for them. There are so many schools in New York, and only so much money. “Girl Meets World” is not a show to dive into serious politics, so we don’t know how much they will touch on this. They are also not fully idealistic, which suggests to us that maybe we will see an ending where Riley and company get some of what they want, but in the process realize that it is not always even about whether or not the adults want to keep the arts around. Hands may be tied.
We’ll have more on this episode over the weekend; stay tuned for that.

Well I do agree that sometimes budget cuts are inevitable and thus cause the “lesser” subjects to be cut, but its always art and music. They are just as essential as the 4 core subjects because they give you the tools to tackle other subjects at different angles. I have been teaching for 17 years. I’ve taught all 4 subjects and in different grades, but I am currently teaching math to 8th graders. In all my years I noticed the students in my classes that take art or music consistently excel on their assignments compared to the students who do not participate in such extracurricular activities.
