[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of ES provide art and music in the classroom. If anything, Fillmore should be open to a full audit of their program over the past 10 years. We were underwhelmed with their program when my kid was at Hyde. [/quote]

If you are saying "plenty of" ES provide art and music in the same homeroom that all the other education takes place in, that is simply untrue, false, evading the facts. Even DCPS will tell you that kids need separate rooms for arts equipment and musical instruments, and they expect this to be what happens in every DCPS school...except for the 5 Fillmore feeder schools, which do not have even that.  In truth, DCPS cares less than a pinch for the 5 Fillmore schools and is using a flimsy transportation-cost argument to cover up its disdain for them.[/quote]

Which elementary schools have instruments? Ours doesn't and never did. Are we supposed to have instruments?[/quote]

If your kids have access to instruments, then you wouldn't want to let DCPS to take them away.  And if you don't have instruments at your school, then why haven't you ever asked for them?  DCPS has spent a ton on arts funding in the last few years and individual schools can decide how to spend that money.[/quote]
