[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This is a little emotionally over-wrought, no[/b]? Your kid is going to come home crying over much more important things in the future.[/quote] No. This is awful.[/quote] No. In the scope of things it really isn't. When high-strung entitled white families don't have access to the NPR of cheap and free arts programs in a city where a significant number of children can't read at grade level and SN students are underserved, this is not awful. So, no.[/quote] +1[/quote] Let's not turn this into a racial issue, please. There are plenty of kids at the five schools who are neither white nor entitled. Fillmore is a wonderful program, and it's not clear how some of these schools will manage any real arts education without it, given lack of space. [/quote] And by the way, I found the letter very insensitive as well. Luckily our child is too young to read it. [/quote]
