[quote=Anonymous]Do a little research, please. Nearly every arts high school works in America in the same sort of private/public partnership agreement as Ellington for a couple of reasons. (1) There is no such thing as a formal arts curriculum in American education so school systems don't know how to run them and (2) teachers at that level of instruction by default tend to be professionals in their fields, not necessarily professional teachers so their hiring cannot work within the normal public school structure and they are almost always non-union and get paid much less than union teachers. That days everything about how far American has gotten away from public support of arts and culture. People talk about STEM this, STEM that, then binge on Netflix all night and listen to music all day but want to shut down a school that teaches people to makes films and music. Really WTF people?[/quote]
