District Administration - October 2006 - (Page 46)
I want to have six to 10 great school options in every neighborhood, and
let parents and THE CH students figure out what's the best learning
environment. WHILE BALLROOM DANCING Arne Duncan, CEO, might be a tough
sell in some urban Chicago Public Schools school environments, the Chicago
Public Schools offered just such a course for fifth-graders at 18 pilot
schools across the city last spring. The idea was to build self-confidence
and self-esteem while providing a needed dose of fi ne arts and physical
education, and by all accounts the program was a success. 46 October 2006
