[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like APS forgot it's core mission: education. Instead it focused on feeding families and preventing community spread. When truthfully that slack would likely have been picked up by state government, local government and community groups if the schools had just done what they needed to do to educate students. [/quote] You have that exactly backwards. The reason schools have to do those things is because we as a society have not placed enough value on a social safety net like most of the rest of the world has. School should not have to be a primary meal distribution site for families, but in a lot of places they are because we have vilified what people derisively call “the welfare state.” If schools had just stopped feeding families then those families likely wouldn’t have eaten and even fewer kids would have received any sort of education. But I guess it feels better to blame the schools.[/quote]
