To be clear, the article is marketing for the Art of Education University, which describes itself as "a university built by art teachers, exclusively for art teachers." It offers access to online professional development resources for a monthly fee. I'm not endorsing them, just noting that they exist. Anyhow, the article specifically discusses offering "choice" in classes, which is what caught my eye. It addresses arguments against choice, for example, "(students) just don't know what to do when they have full choice", and "you don't teach any technical skills!" The answers are pretty good, and basically what I would say when asked similar questions.
