Should storytelling be part of primary school curriculum?

No way

Drawing, moral science, craftwork, dance and music have lost their value after they became part of the syllabus. Storytelling too will meet the same fate is it is made compulsory. Our education system should give the child the freedom to choose creative arts and learn it in a fun and test-free manner. A compulsory storytelling session and evaluation will only add to the child's burden. Instead, let teachers and parents tell children stories with good morals.
