[quote=Anonymous]I don't know much about Filmore but can add to this that our elementary school has a full-time art and a full-time music teacher and that's working very well. The DCPS music curriculum is solid and seems to come with clear guidelines what children should know from year to year. While our music teacher had a few things to learn in managing classrooms, the instruction there now is very well thought through. The art teacher is incredibly inspiring and the art studio at our school is a truly vibrant place to be. Same thing, there seems to be a well thought out curriculum and school-wide, project-based integration of art into the regular classrooms. Both those teachers have been able to enhance what they're doing with grants and partnerships. I wish we had a drama club but, other than that, what we have seems pretty close to the ideal for an otherwise normal (not arts-integration or anything like that) school.

I wonder if DCPS now looks at pieces like Filmore and just doesn't feel like it's a worthwhile investment.[/quote]
