Agreed. So grateful to be out.

We are also out. Best decision ever.

Moved out of state last year mainly due to APS failing to open, and our new public school class max is 20. So relieved I'm not dealing with this ongoing APS nonsense....and feel bad for parents that are. I only look back here occasionally out of curiosity but I truly never imagined it would still be bad (in different ways-expanding class sizes, no lunch spacing inside) in APS one year after we moved.

(Side note: APS could have done what it's doing this Fall with its Covid plans, LAST fall.) If anything it's dicier now with the delta variant and kids.

I'm honestly surprised at how many good people have stayed in APS despite all this. Either these boards widely exaggerate the situation and most people are happier than it seems at APS, or they just don't have the option to move.

This is us too. We moved across the country mainly because of the failure of the school system. Kids have been back in school 3 weeks already with actual learning from day 1. My 6th grader is definitely behind their peers since they were mainly in person last year. We will work to catch them up but it’s going to take a lot of work. I do feel for the kids still in APS.

Similar situation here.. the difference of being in a district that prioritized kids being in a classroom last year is crystal clear. Thank god we left when we did. I feel bad for the kids/families and teachers/staff that are stuck with APS leadership.. I've also noticed a stark difference in teachers being more engaged/happy because they are treated well. Which has a direct impact on the kids.

And yet you're both still posting here because you just can't stop disparaging others.

I think we are all better off that you're gone, nasties. BYE!

I'm here because we would love to return but not while APS is still a mess.

If you can only sh1t on others, please just go away and stay away.

You made your choice. Live with it.

We stayed and aren't as lucky. Packed classes.

Crickets.

PP probably doesn’t even have kids in APS.

Because it's not likely that you even know how many kids in your kids' classes.

?!? I went to the open house and counted every single desk with a name on it in every single 1st grade classroom, but please tell me again how you know so much more than I do. Just wait for the Sept enrollment numbers. I know exactly how many kids there are in my kid's class and the grade as a whole, as of last Thursday at least (there are probably more now due to inevitable late enrollments).

When you get a open house there’s literally a list of every kids name. Not hard to know.

You lucked out but that’s not how it works. School board increased class size limits to 30 kids for elementary. It doesn’t matter that a school has fewer kids because they will pack them with as many as they can to save on payroll. The school board is a disgrace. Terrible to do this to kids after the year they just had. They should have used the lower enrollment to make classes smaller.

So first you falsely accuse me of lying and not having kids in APS, and now you feign shock that I would collect such a basic piece of information at an open house as to how many kids there are in my kid's class. What next?

It is how it works if you had 25 per class originally. 75 for 3 classes. Then we lost 12 in the grade which is 63 and keeps us with 3 classes not two. Average of 21 per class.

They generally haven’t get anywhere close to the max for most classrooms before this year.

Evidence they “will pack them”? Actual # report?

Not just your kid’s class - you went to the other classrooms too?
