[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread belies why APS is floundering: you have a whole swath of parents who want to focus on socializing in school and do not want homework because it will interfere with sports etc.

And for many of their kids, they will do fine, leveraging the connections their parents have to go into jobs where degrees and grades don’t matter, and that’s fine for them.

For the rest of us, who have to actually have proven skills for a living, APS is woefully lacking because of these attitudes. [/quote]
Honestly this post is so indicative of what’s wrong with this board in general.  I remember a few years ago I would come here to hear new stuff and be better informed, and get actual information that was more often than not accurate.  Now you just have trolls.  People who pedantically criticize.  People who claim to have all their kids in private schools but still feel the need to read and comment here.  Obvious trolling.  
Just like I don’t go back to the expecting parent board, I really doubt that people who are commenting here about having moved ever actually had a kid in aps.

You are cute. There’s this new thing called Recent Topics (insert sarcasm here) that shows recent threads. That’s how parents like me are finding this thread and unlike you, having something useful to say, as we moved our kid from APS to private. You public school parents are so insecure about your choice that you can’t handle the thought that someone can find fault with APS.[/quote]
So I find it very hard to believe that there are 5-6 separate sets of parents with kids who are in either highschool or college who were in aps and then went to a “big 3” highschool.  I find it far more likely that there is a single troll (or perhaps 2) who is commenting repeatedly on this thread, and is sock puppeting or just plain old trolling.  It’s sad because this board just isn’t helpful anymore.  
Right now this thread is number 67 on recent topics between traveling to Puerto Rico and questions about lacrosse goalies… doubt someone would soon scroll that much repeatedly if they weren’t a troll.  [/quote]

RWNJ/APE trolls trying to trash APS with BS claims.

There is ample evidence that kids fled for private during covid and many have not returned. North Arlington ES are under enrolled.  I don’t believe that  it one sock puppeting parent on here (who is also a member of APE?) “trashing” APS.  I have good things to say about our early years at APS but I pulled my kid for private high school and I tried to answer OPs questions.  And lots of other posters shared their different experiences.  You are wrong to think there aren’t lots of us who tried APS but left.  [/quote]
I think the argument for sock puppeting is that it is highly unlikely that there are multiple sets of parents (on this board) who have multiple kids, went private just for highschool, and sent their kid to a “big 3” highschool.  Lots of people went private during covid.  If you went private during covid though, your kid would likely not have done middle school at aps.  [/quote]
