[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fillmore is just a crutch for lazy administrators. Other schools which are Have a lot more kids and have far less square footage make it work. Even without a kiln or studio space the kids get a lot of art with a teacher at their school.

Unless Fillmore is gone these schools have no incentive to actually implement art in their own school. [/quote]

Name 1 dcps school with less sq ft/student than key and stoddert who makes it work.

And isnt it up to dcps to make sure schools have the resources to implement the curriculum they mandate? They shouldn't expect the pta to pay for everything.

One would think that dcps has a plan by now. It is pathetic that they dont. But not surprising. [/quote]

Eaton to name one.

Murch for years and even in swing space.

DCPS doesn't do a draft budget for each school, nor decide what classroom(s) can be used for art.  The school does that all on their own.  Check out non-Fillmore school budgets and you will see that administrators have figured it out on their own how to budget for an art teacher.

If parents demand that art is a priority then it will be.  Until then schools can fall back on mediocre art done off site.  Just don't be surprised when the plug is finally pulled on it and these schools have to do what other schools do everyday.[/quote]
