one writer said on a free market poor parents could forego art classes or sport classes
but doesn't it break your heart if a child misses out on something they really like
A link is required, for a conclusion to be conjured from the depths of hell.
You would be free to help finance said child's art or sport classes in a free society. Coercing others into paying is wrong.
It breaks my heart when I see starving beggars, but it doesn't lead me to the conclusion that we should adopt soviet style farming.
Rather, it leads me to the conclusion that we should eliminate the government factors (drug prohibition, minimum wage, etc) which makes it easier to become a starving beggar in the first place.
No one on this earth has everything one really likes - "doesn't it break your heart"?

Some food for thought...
Is there some reason why you post these nonsense questions every single week? They've been done to death. Seriously.

It breaks my heart to see a child be told what he really likes. See Hitler Youth.

Also, do you know the difference between education and schooling?

No; this one writer is an idiot, & you are generalizing "could forego" to imply "will always forego" or "unable to pursue" art & sports classes. Albert Jay Nock rolls in his grave accordingly.

All it takes for "sports class" in the undeveloped world is a round ball and an empty field.
The field doesn't even have to be smooth.
This sports class has produced superstar millionaires.

Public schooling is barely able to teach children how to read and do math and not only in the US (believe me, I've taught math and chemistry recovery courses for a few years) in the most wasteful possible way, I find it absurd to entertain the idea of wasting even more resources on arts and sports.
But again I am not a Socialist.
Yes, it's time for the Dr Goebbels show!
Not really. If it breaks yours feel free to write them a check so they can do something they like.
I'm of the opinion kids should work part time, instead of sitting around the house all weekend and summer. It builds character and it adds relevant life skills.

I wish I could've forgone both classes in my high school years. Utter waste of time. I didn't even like the sports they had on offer being into swimming myself; never been into team sports. BTW when the government provides education more kids miss out anyway... so to evoke this argument in its favour is doubly ironic.
To darkness I condemn you...
