This is it, absolutely. It's an APE position. Therefore, 'MUST. PUSH. BACK. MUST. BE. WRONG.' Only "thinking" that's needed: What is the opposite of what SPE is promoting? |
Well, the opinion of someone who watches Fox News surely convinces me. |
Cutting out half of the iPads in k-2 isn’t a significant savings. Not worth the administrative hassle or additional teacher load. Plus, having 1:1 provides contingency for possible emergency situations. |
It’s just a worthless argument that is wasting people’s time. If APE wants parents to not think they are R a-holes then maybe they should actually address the crappy things Youngkin has done. And stop trying to take over every conservation with their (dumb) ideas. |
APE does not help themselves by going on Fox news. But no I don't trust APE at all. They have opinions based on half baked research that is cherry picked to support their narrative. That's not how ed policy should be made. They have no place in the debate. |
Oh good, another person posting anonymously on DCUM that they hate APE. Both surprising and scintillating. Please post more about your hated. I had no idea. Seriously, I'm not part of APE and often disagree with them, but these posts are so annoying. Give it up. No one cares if random person on the Internet hates APE. It's not news or interesting. |
An emergency that can only be solved by every kindergartener having an iPad? Such as? An emergency need to do Dreambox or Lexia? Wtf? No one is putting K-2 on iPads for virtual learning again. It's not happening. The kids don't learn anything and it's miserable for all involved. |
Sure you're just a random person who is not at all APE associated on a site that APEs are known to frequent incessantly... and you just happen to find anti-APE posts annoying. |
This is a stupid argument. One needs to be informed, even about misinformation. So yes, I monitor RWNJ sources. Including APE for the next outrage du jour. |
“I can do this all day.” You are free to skip all the APE threads. The rest of us who hate what they are doing to APS will continue to discuss their actions. |
You actually turn FoxNews on and watch it? Which programs? |
In other words, leave DCUM? Because you bring APE into every single thread. Rather than telling the rest of us to just skip the threads, perhaps all the APE-haters can start their own chat group and stop directing every OP into an APE discussion. Many of us non-APE supporters are sick of it and should be able to read other people's questions and comments and make our own contributions to topics without it going "APE." |
I really don't think being informed about misinformation really requires intentionally tuning in to Fox News to see who appears and hear what they're saying. I certainly don't, but believe I'm pretty aware of a lot of the "alternative facts" and conspiracy theories. I surely know the gist and don't need to watch FOX at all just to hear more details and rants. |
I disagree. It’s important to hear the propaganda crazy for yourself instead of being fed X-Twitter bytes by commentators and influencers so that you know what you’re up against and can counter the messaging. The other side does it so well, using our words against us. |
The problem with the APE haters is they keep posting as if it’s their world of good liberals against “them” which they define as simply Trump/MAGA/Fox News/APE. Of course that’s so silly and myopic. I don’t see technology in APS as having anything to do with Fox News but we are down this rabbit hole. And I’m a democrat and voted for Biden and don’t watch Fox News and also don’t want kindergarteners to have iPads. WOAH. |
