This time last year (or actually in June), APS was "committed" to hybrid instruction with kids in the classroom as much as possible. They backtracked on that in late July, and then did not reverse course, even when it was obvious that there was going to be a winter surge, and it made more sense to start the year in person. They did not reverse course when the testing showed that they were failing k-2. They have not reversed course now when its obvious that 4 days a week would be possible, especially for k-2 since those classrooms are empty half the week now! The only reason we are even in person at all is because of Northam. The only reason they are planning for five days next week is because of Northam. They have repeatedly changed what they are doing, often at the detriment of instruction, because they cannot solve hard problems and it is just too hard. It started out concurrent was "inappropriate for anything below highschool", that turned into concurrent for second grade and up in most schools. The school board allowed this, they did not vote a single time, and they said that they did not feel comfortable telling a CEO how to run his job. Their job is oversight! What exactly did they do this year to oversee -- they voted on school boundaries THAT'S IT, and the school boundaries are so bad that they have to revisit them again six months later!

Mary Kadera for better or worse is just more of the same. She said in that debate that its important for virtual students to "have a connection to their home school", but didn't say outright how that would be implemented. I'll tell you how it'll be implemented -- concurrent again in the fall for those virtual kids if they don't have a centralized program. Concurrent is not effective. We cannot risk having someone on the board who even remotely thinks that it is. We need someone on the board who will push for schools to stay open if there is another surge again next year -- which is very possible with variants and needing a booster in six months. If bars are open (which they will be), schools should be open. We need someone who understands that getting an education is not possible for young children remotely, and if gyms can open, schools sure as hell better be open.

I'm not in APE at all, but I lurk on AEM and the SR facebook groups. If you think that five days a week is a "done deal", you haven't been paying attention. Those people will fight tooth and nail for their kid to remain virtual at their home school (which is only possible with concurrent). Once you have regular teachers doing concurrent, they'll need time to "plan" and have all the pull outs they would have had throughout the week. We'll be back at four days max.

Mary Kadera would have been a great candidate a year from now. She totally would have had my vote. But until we are 100% out of the pandemic (i.e. we think of covid the way we think of the flu), rts will be the number one issue for me, as it should be.

I am an APS teacher. Not one teacher or administrator I've spoken too has any other thought than we will return to business as usual, 5 days, full time (with masking etc) in the fall. Stop the conspiracy theory. Last fall was totally different. There was no vaccine, we still didn't know so much about how covid was spread, and many many other districts were virtual. Every metro district has committed to returning to school in the fall. Go put on your tinfoil hat.

Dear APS teacher - You had a vaccine months ago. You knew the risk of Covid spread was tiny in a school setting. Yet you refused to return to school to teach. And yes I can absolutely believe that come fall, you will still fail to believe in the science of vaccines and that you will still fail to believe experts who have studied spread and say the risk is minimal. I believe that you will continue to wear your tin foil hat and declare Science isn’t real! Just like you have been doing every single day.

WTF are you talking about? Teachers got vaccinated and immediately went back into the classrooms (even before many had the 2nd shot).

You are a delusional nut job. Stop bullying the teachers and get help FFS.

APS is billing in person days as in person education now, but my K-2 student is on her iPad 90+% of the time. It's awful. I have zero confidence that APS is going to do the right thing by students. I'm going to vote for someone who is critical of how things have gone this year, not another SB member who will just nod and smile at Duran.

Critical of how things have gone while she watched from the sidelines of her kid’s private school. Sorry, next!

Oh yes, I'm just imagining that my elementary student is still being taught mostly by iPad on in person days because teachers are concerned about "exposure."

I promise you it's not a delusion. APS is fleecing parents by calling what they're offering now "in person" instruction.

APS is billing in person days as in person education now, but my K-2 student is on her iPad 90+% of the time. It's awful. I have zero confidence that APS is going to do the right thing by students. I'm going to vote for someone who is critical of how things have gone this year, not another SB member who will just nod and smile at Duran.

Critical of how things have gone while she watched from the sidelines of her kid’s private school. Sorry, next!

All Miranda did was leave for private school and complain. Not exactly a problem solver.

The "common parent" didn't have private school as an option.

The parents who found private spots for their kids this year were the smart ones. I thought they were overreacting at the time, but they were right.

So, if all families cannot access alternative options then no families should be able to access alternative options? Is that it? Sounds like you might be part of the APS school board! Look at where this logic has gotten us! Behind almost every single other school district in America! Yippee!

APS is billing in person days as in person education now, but my K-2 student is on her iPad 90+% of the time. It's awful. I have zero confidence that APS is going to do the right thing by students. I'm going to vote for someone who is critical of how things have gone this year, not another SB member who will just nod and smile at Duran.

Critical of how things have gone while she watched from the sidelines of her kid’s private school. Sorry, next!

All Miranda did was leave for private school and complain. Not exactly a problem solver.

Um, exactly what alternative options were there for the common parent???????

She is now running for school board in order to become a problem solver. Stop trolling.

The "common parent" didn't have private school as an option.

So, if all families cannot access alternative options then no families should be able to access alternative options? Is that it? Sounds like you might be part of the APS school board! Look at where this logic has gotten us! Behind almost every single other school district in America! Yippee!

I am an APS teacher. Not one teacher or administrator I've spoken too has any other thought than we will return to business as usual, 5 days, full time (with masking etc) in the fall. Stop the conspiracy theory. Last fall was totally different. There was no vaccine, we still didn't know so much about how covid was spread, and many many other districts were virtual. Every metro district has committed to returning to school in the fall. Go put on your tinfoil hat.

No - not talking about all families here, just MT.

Stop lying - we weren't "behind almost every other school district" - we were right in the pack. Need me to bump up those old burbio data threads again?
