-1! My child really reaped benefits and enjoyed it. No program is perfect, but I genuinely believe that the music and arts programs at Fillmore make for more well rounded students. Every parent should support arts education, and the Fillmore provides the added benefit of a dedicated arts space which draws students from several students together.[/quote]

I think you misunderstood the PP who you are +1ing. Pretty sure he/she meant hope they are successful this time in closing it. I'm not a huge Fillmore fan. All the time lining up and busing is a huge time suck. My child had a teacher last semester who has a reputation for having kids sit out the whole class on the rug or sending them to another class.  This is a once a week class! If Fillmore stays open, she needs to retire. She def falls into that category of being an artist not an educator and doesn't have good classroom management skills. Would personally prefer to see arts brought in-house to the schools. The problem is space since all the schools are packed as is. Art on a cart stinks. [/quote]
