Every thread: APE is right. Everyone else is wrong.

Stop giving them air.

APE person won't even let a parent be proud of their 6 year old's art project because it doesn't fit into their talking points. Weird flex.

This is such a a bizarre take. Do you always twist what people say into something unrecognizable? Fox news probably has openings.

APE members have appeared on Fox News. Another reason not to trust them.

Stop it. Move on, APE.

I don't want my 6 yo doing art class on a screen. There are so many more age appropriate things they could be doing.

I agree. Students are really struggling with fine motor skills. They need less time on devices not more. It’s harder to make up these deficits as they get older.

Look, it's pointless coming onto an anonymous forum spouting your views. If you feel so strongly, write to the school board using your APS email address.

Lexia is based on OG. You think there is an issue with OG?

Frequent use of “Caulkins” for Calkins is going to be my villain origin story.

It was just one unit, my dude. Relax. They do painting and crayons too.

Buying iPads for a single art unit is ridiculous. Just do that lesson with 3rd, 4th or 5th graders who have 1:1 devices. It doesn't need to be done in K.

Now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. All of us know that iPads are used for more than art. I trust APS staff more than some anon parent whose kids may or may not go to APS what the curriculum should be.

I trust teachers more than clueless, aggressive parents who were screaming about APS before they even had kids in K.

Teachers have weighed in that 1:1 devices aren't necessary in K-2. You're just being oppositional because APE was quoted in the article.

Which teachers? One person from AEA? A couple anonymous posters on DCUM?

Either way, it doesn’t save that much money.

Other teachers have posted under their names on AEM that they don’t like 1-1 iPads. This isn’t hard.

And you will find other teachers on AEM who like Lexia and the flexibility 1:1 iPads provide in lower elementary. That's not hard to find either. In any case, you should stop speaking for all teachers.

None of the teachers have posted that on AEM.

I do both! My posts here are as pointless as anyone else’s.

An app is an app, not anything else. Who ran the study to show Lexia is effective? I bet it was Lexia. Totally trustworthy.

Who cares?!? Is this even true?!?! It's certainly not relevant.

I'm not a part of APE and often disagree with them, but think this is mostly a good suggestion. Are you objecting just because the thread title has APE in it or can you think for yourself?
