To the editor: To shut Gabriella Constitution Faculty can be a tragedy for college kids and their households, academics and supporters (“A well-liked constitution faces closure to make extra room for an LAUSD college,” Oct. 16).
Gabriella, whose origins have root in making a tragic dying rely for L.A.’s underserved kids, is a superb college: rigorous, disciplined and joyous. College students know they’re secure and cherished by academics and directors who’re excited by their laborious work and reference to them.
The fact of the college “specializing in dance instruction” is that girls and boys of all sizes, in all grades, take a dance class taught by knowledgeable dancer on daily basis. Some excel and turn out to be members of a dance troupe that performs across the metropolis. Others overcome their embarrassment to train and carry out for his or her proud dad and mom. Dance is a part of their curriculum. The kindergartners dance the alphabet as they be taught.
The varsity board ought to spare the group this tragedy, compounded as it might be with so many others.
