[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes, why all the hate for Filmore? [/quote]

Agreed!  Our kids LOVE Fillmore -- they have been there for several years now -- and my husband and I are thrilled with the incredible diversity of mediums they are exposed to there.  There is no way our school could begin to offer anything remotely as high quality and diverse with the .5 FTE we get from DCPS for arts and music ed.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I have yet to find any educational offering that pleases everyone, so I don't mean to dismiss those that have not had a good experience there, but Fillmore is working well for many many families -- check out the comments submitted with the 700 signatures gathered on the petition to date!  For those with sincere interest in understanding the "whys" and "whats" of Fillmore, the petition provides some additional information and you should also check out the Friends of Fillmore website (FoF is Fillmore's PTA).  Fillmore is an award-winning and innovative way to bring arts and music to our kids -- our school would suffer tremendously if we lost it. [/quote]
