4 CLT’s per week?! Where is AEA in all of this? Don’t teachers have protected individual planning time?

Once you bring up AEA I discount your comment

Why? I taught in APS in the late 90’s and AEA was great. Why would it make you discount the comment? The association is supposed to protect its members’ planning time

There are many parents in Arlington whose only exposure to the AEA was during covid. I had no idea who they were before the pandemic and now pretty much equate them (fairly or unfairly) with the less than ideal pandemic response. My sense is their image was badly tarnished as a result

Well that and the fiscal management and shady business dealings of the president. I sure hope we don't enter into a collective bargaining agreement with those shysters.

Same but Im not hopeful. On pretty much everything I have contacted the County Board or School Board within the past year I have heard nothing.

Mary Kadera always responds to me. She’s the only one

LATE 90s??? You realize that was well over 20 years ago. Try and stay relevant with your comments, please.

It’s still relevant. The basic mission of AEA hasn’t changed, and their structure as a VEA affiliate hasn’t changed (I’m in FEA in FCPS). Of course it’s relevant. It’s not like in 20 years they now focus on organic farming and alpacas. The association is supposed to protect things like unencumbered planning time.
