OMG Just stop with the privileged BS. That attack is exhausting and pathetic.

Well roughly 80% of NA is hybrid, 50% of SA. Lots more wealth & entitlement in NA, all about themselves and their agenda. Now that is pathetic

Miranda Turner is on the steering committee of APE and she was active in the elementary boundary process around Drew (this got heated too), although I'm not sure why because her kids don't go to Drew. One is in private, one is in Montessori. I wonder what the dynamic is/was with her white wealthy two lawyer family as one of the gentrifiers in Green Valley who doesn't even send her kids to the neighborhood school.

I would like to hear more about all of these things.

I guess we'll know more about Mary when APE releases their FOIA. Maybe someone should FOIA MT's emails. Just sayin'.

ugh, I am so over this stupid thread, but I can't not comment on this. Miranda had a child who attended Drew and was (is?) active in the Drew PTA. She withdrew her child because APS did not provide meaningful in-person instruction this year. She has been open about doing this, because it was best for her child. She is fighting for other children whose parents did not have the opportunity her child did. And she has said her child wants to go back to Drew.

Exactly.. she's lived through this mess, nobody else on the SB is.. She certainly gets my vote.

But...not wrong.

OK then.. You are saying that across the country, every county that has parents fighting for their kids to be in-school is made up of privilege white people?? Get a clue.

No, but that’s the majority of the Arlington contingent.

Strawman.

PP said “Interesting that the most support for open schools now movement is in the wealthiest areas of NA”.

Is that true or not true?

The GOP is certainly clinging to it as a wedge issue. Isn’t that well known?

If Dems are letting them take credit for opening schools, that’s just a bad strategy.

Yes it's true. You can see it in the school by school numbers.

The open up families are up in N. Arlington, the same areas that voted for Trump.

Coincidence?

So what you’re saying is well over half the county has a demonstrated preference for in person instruction (particularly at the elementary level) and those that are fighting to prevent further opening are in the minority? Got it.

FALSE.

Priddy has kids in ES and MS.
Kadera has kids in APS (not sure of grades).

Back that up please... why are parents considered privileged for wanting their kids in school?? I'm so confused by this argument. Wanting kids to learn in-person is a right, not a privilege.

Home prices, income are significantly higher in NA, their hybrid is 30% higher. See a trend here?

We all want to open schools, just don’t want massive COVID outbreaks to get there.

Soooooo... what is your point. Because NA families have bigger homes and higher income, they are automatically labeled as white privilege? Anyone who can afford to live in NA is automatically a white-privileged A-hole?

Studies have shown over and over that open schools don't lead to massive Covid outbreaks. I don't know why we can't accept that.
