It's impossible to tally up the man-hours that have gone into this production. Lots and lots of people have been consumed by thisevent. We began almost five months ago with auditions. Along the way we designed and built vivid, imaginative sets and props and usedgallons and gallons of COLOR.  The on stage performers and the pit musicians learned over 400 pages of music. We danced and danced, sang and sang, acted and acted, hammered and hammered, painted and painted and most of all, had FUN!

Rachel,We are a bernal flimay who listed paul revere immersion #1, 5 others including 2 trophies and #7 cobb.  When turning in application I asked how to signify the montessori pathway (as that was the ONLY part of cobb we would be interested in) I was told by an EPC counselor to just put the GEN code and it would be worked out at the school. Of course now I can see that it seems to have been quite niave to have believed this, but why would I doubt the advice of an EPC counselor? Our problem now is that we have been assigned cobb gen, the montesssori pathway is no longer there, (now way too difficult to get to the new location as it would require at least one more bus change in each direction) and not even available to us anyway.  The real jeopardy here is that we are now in an even worse position in round 2 than the 0/7s. We are classified as having gotten one of our 7 choices due  to the incorrect advice received at EPC.  When I spoke to an EPC counselor 3/15 I was told there is nothing to be changed, what's done is done . Furthermore, after expressing my despair and wondering aloud what are we going to do I was told that  kindergarten is not mandatory .  What the heck?  What about First Five? Is this really the way the EPC feels?  Please, is there someone/something to do? At this point I just want to be in the 0/7 cohort as I honestly believe is our case. Anything.Would appreciate your help.Tara

  Yesterday New York University’s Diane Ravitch penned a very iertnesting Op-Ed for the Los Angeles Times, on the negative effects of “big ideas” on the educational system. Her ideas are really refreshing. There's an insidious quick-fix mentality peddled by policy entrepreneurs and grabbed on by media and politicians. Like teach phonics or start charters and all the problems districts and teachers struggle with will magically dissolve. I feel the lottery system suffered from the same problem  it got hammered on every March as people got frustrated not getting their picks, but every year as more parents discovered the hidden gems (sometimes by being involuntarily assigned to them, like what happened with Sunnyside), the set of  good  schools grew. [Although some of them had always been good before they had "buzz"].  The incremental progress being made every year got lost in the wailing that we hadn't reached perfection.However, on the other, if there are no quick fixes from introducing Charters or choice or phonics or standardized testing etc., then there's only the much less headline-grabbing slow grind at making small incremental improvements each year.  Fix  is the wrong metaphor:  healing or training or coaching are better metaphors. Of course, stability of funding is needed to consolidate the slow evolutionary steps we make, but funnily enough, conservative policy entreprenuers don't talk about that much. I am not sure it’s such a good idea for me to get so deeply ensconced in deciding who gets the Party nod for Supervisor, School Board and other races, particularly in the City’s current politically-polarized environment. Well, it would give you more leverage for use in the BoE for key decisions. But otherwise,  I'm glad you're dedicated to the BoE.

Director's Notes

It 1s with pride that The MCHS Fine Arts Department brings this production of SEUSSICAL to this wonderful community tonight. The cast, crews, and directors have worked hard to produce this fresh new musical based on famous Dr. Seuss characters. The stage comes to life tonight in a blaze of color, creativity, movement, and song.

It's impossible to tally up the man-hours that have gone into this production. Lots and lots of people have been consumed by thisevent. We began almost five months ago with auditions. Along the way we designed and built vivid, imaginative sets and props and usedgallons and gallons of COLOR. The on stage performers and the pit musicians learned over 400 pages of music. We danced and danced, sang and sang, acted and acted, hammered and hammered, painted and painted and most of all, had FUN! After all, we all try to live byour departmental motto, "Excellence is Our Standard.. .Not Our Goal". "Oh the places you'll go" and the "thinks you will think" as you sit back and experience our musical adventure through the wonderful world of Dr Seuss!

Rachel,We are a bernal flimay who listed paul revere immersion #1, 5 others including 2 trophies and #7 cobb. When turning in application I asked how to signify the montessori pathway (as that was the ONLY part of cobb we would be interested in) I was told by an EPC counselor to just put the GEN code and it would be worked out at the school. Of course now I can see that it seems to have been quite niave to have believed this, but why would I doubt the advice of an EPC counselor? Our problem now is that we have been assigned cobb gen, the montesssori pathway is no longer there, (now way too difficult to get to the new location as it would require at least one more bus change in each direction) and not even available to us anyway. The real jeopardy here is that we are now in an even worse position in round 2 than the 0/7s. We are classified as having gotten one of our 7 choices due to the incorrect advice received at EPC.
