[quote=Anonymous]Is this APS-wide or just my kids' school. Emails from the principal and PTA principal have explained that today is Community Day because some children "have not had the opportunity to develop [communication, problem solving and conflict resolution skills]". The principal describes it as a day to "pause and reset". What am I missing? This is likely my privilege speaking as our family has fared overall fairly well during the pandemic, but did these kinds of days happen pre-Covid? Or am I missing something really big here that's happened at the school? The idea that 12yr olds haven't had the opportunity to develop problem solving skills or conflict resolution feels bizarre and factually false to me. If it's needed, I suppose this is good, but it seems strange or opaque. [/quote]
