Chances APS goes virtual after break?

[Anonymous]

Only on AEM would going virtual be something anyone is talking about. AEM is completely nuts and thankfully not representative of APS at all.

We already work 60 hour weeks and the "summers off" trope has been debunked repeatedly. Apparently, all to no avail until you guys learn some reading comprehension.

Working 60 hours and only having 2 weeks off will be a blessing, not a curse, to all of us teachers.

Best of luck in your new career! Let us know how it works for you.

Hope your kid likes being taught by a long-term sub! I'm sure it will all work out.

-Make outdoor lunch mandatory; open windows
-Make testing mandatory and daily (rapid tests for everyone every damn day)

-send the work force back to telework as possible


I realize these things wont' happen. But kids have paid the price for adults not doing enough for WAY too long. My 2nd grader can barely read because she left Kindergarten without a solid enough foundation and then was just told to do Lexia for a year during 1st grade. She made a little progress, but she is WAY BEHIND where she should be because she has not had the instruction she needs. Her teacher certainly tried, but it was a garbage year. She's young enough to catch up, and we have resources, but she needs to be IN SCHOOL.

I was mostly supportive of school closures last year. I realized the tough spot we were in with so many unknowns. But now we know 2 things: kids do not suffer from covid FOR THE MOST PART and virtual school does not work FOR THE MOST PART.

I'm totally with you on your suggestions. Those could really work. The problem is the crazy parents who will fight against these things. The same parents who screamed for schools to be open last year. They just want to pretend Covid is NBD. Not sure what we do with that attitude which will probably lead to closures.

Well my HS kid got a long term sub for a science class last month. Turns out the sub is a much better teacher than the regular teacher so actually I am more willing now to roll the dice and see if a long term sub works out better. 🤷‍♀️

Good luck with that. We've had some real doozies of subs.

+1. No way can we roll the dice any longer. Schools should stay open etc but APS needs a much better recruitment plan. I guess someone got lucky with a science class but most of the time it's been a disaster. Not qualified at all--not doing a thing for learning loss.
