[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So on one side there's all this hand-wringing about STEM classes not being minutely represented in the various course catalogs and on the other hand people don't think Einstein is serving STEM kids as well as it could anyway?  So what's the end desire here?  To advocate for more STEM on an arts and humanities thread?[/quote]

The principal is the one who decides course offerings and he’s made it clear that isn’t going to happen.  They are also making the new theater teacher a half time position which makes no sense.  They don’t have a huge amount of arts offering either compared to other schools. We got our second child into a different school because of this.  They are losing the smarter kids which sucks not being able to go to your local school.  His focus is on the lowest preforming kids vs a nice blend for all. [/quote]

Smealie was a theatre/chorus combo position so it’s smart to post them separately. Principal has said he would bundle them, but not every chorus teacher wants to teach drama and not every drama teacher wants to teach chorus.

It’s interesting to me to see how the staffing at Einstein is different than Blake, which is the NEC arts school. The biggest difference seems to be that Einstein has more guitar, piano and music technology. [/quote]

It looks a bit different but very similar.  Blair is the one that really stands out for DCC schools.  For the VAC/drawing, Einstein is the best option.  [/quote]

Blair theatre has been great, but the longtime director / drama teacher is retiring this year, so it’s hard to say what will happen next year. [/quote]

That will be interesting with both retiring this year. [/quote]
