[quote=Anonymous]You could also look at Fillmore as an example of how DCPS really SHOULD consider running arts education, by combining resources to create higher quality learning, rather than duplicating arts and music at each individual school. For arts and music especially, you need specially designed classrooms and expensive tools to provide the real experience. It's simply cheaper and more practical to do that with resources in a central place (or places, if Fillmore were to be duplicated across the city) than in every single school. DCPS seems to be bull-headed in not recognizing something that should be obvious. You could make a similar argument for STEM courses also, and of course you see that with Mckinley Tech and other specialized high schools. But because it doesn't make sense to have a specialized arts school for elementary school kids, the "Fillmore Model" arguably is a perfect fit for grades PK-5.[/quote]
