[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of us understand the importance of an arts education. Some of us happen to realize Fillmore is an overblown and expensive way to provide it. Not supporting Fillmore doesn't mean we don't support arts education. [b]There are elementary schools that don't have separate space for art or music[/b]. They provide it in the classroom. It's been done before, believe me. [/quote]

You are incorrect here, at least in DC.

But you will correct once Fillmore ends for 5 schools.[/quote]

2 of the 5 are about to start renovations that will resolve the arts space issue for their students. I think that parents can help their principals find creative solutions for the other three.

I don't have children at a school that uses Fillmore, but this response annoys me to no end. "Parents can help find creative solutions" seems to be DCPS's motto. I think parents can stop accepting mediocrity (or worse) from DCPS. I think that DCPS management should just do their jobs and find a way to provide appropriate facilities, resources, and support.[/quote]
