[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the reason we are worse is because we were closed so long for COVID. So that means that APS kids had 1) greater learning loss, and 2) fewer social skills because of longer isolation. That means this year would have been a disaster for teachers. Every APS teacher I know was so glad to see the year end![/quote]

This.

Teachers really caused their own problem by letting a small group of teachers demand that schools had to remain closed for way too long. If students had returned in person in spring 2021, then things would have been smoother come fall. Can you believe that AEM was pushing and demanding that school not even start in person in Fall 2021?

and then also -

Duran's expectations that then trickled down to admin and then teachers were way, way, way unrealistic. I mean shockingly unrealistic. They did literally nothing to plan for how they were going to address learning loss.  The plans were always ad hoc and in response to public outcry.  Duran is truly terrible as a leader. I mean really bad. I can't believe parents really aren't more outraged with him. He let the virtual academy become a complete time, resource and attention suck.  He spends more time hiring people for equity and diversity than actually doing anything that looks like equity or diversity.
