[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP high and mighty stuff. As if doing away with something excellent short term (Fillmore) will bring about great quality and equity for all immediately and long term (not). Does the money come from your pocket? Are you a parent? Quality teaching any subject is a crap shoot. [b]Fillmore is a sure thing in terms of arts education and should remain until proven formulas exceed that experience.[/b] DCPS has NONE- only empty words about art and PEnfornall (though not really). [/quote]

Where is the evidence showing that Fillmore is a "sure thing?" How is it's academic value measured? Are the majority of Ellington students from Fillmore feeders? Do Fillmore schools have the highest scores?

I'm just trying to understand the argument that Fillmore is[b] the best thing[/b] in arts education because it has better stuff. If it's so great, why did schools like Mann leave? Why shouldn't all schools with no space be able to go or enter a lottery to attend?

I can certainly understand that it's better than nothing for the schools [b]near [/b]it that don't have arts at all now. Yes, it should be paid for by DCPS if there are no other viable options [i]and [/i] the principals sign off [i]and[/i] all parents at Fillmore are fine with the amount of time on the bus versus an arts-integration program on-site at school, but with less stuff.
