[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s waiting out the pandemic and my kid’s education is suffering. [b]And their complete lack of instructional focus — which was the case before, during and I’m sure after the pandemic — will mean our kids are behind the rest of their APS education. [/b]

We are working on alternatives — mainly moving to a cheaper area so we can spend less on a house and more on education.

But parents need to pay attention. [b]They have no plan to address learning loss or wider disparities in knowledge when kids return.[/b] [/quote]

OK bye. Hopefully your new area won't mind that you are disconnected from reality.

Okay. So point me to this plan?  My ES kids have teachers who have all told me it is nearly impossible for them to assess writing ability and reading in this virtual environment without dedicated one on one time — which they don’t have. What are their plans to make these assessments?  What plan do they have to make up for curriculum that they won’t get to this year?[/quote]

Just as they did at the beginning of this year, they will shift the curriculum next year to cover any topics that were missed or need to be covered again.

Of course, they will address learning loss. Just as every single school in the US will.

That’s not making up for learning loss. That is kicking the cam down the road. And next year may be hybrid. APs can say it’s curriculum is whatever it wants but my fifth grader isn’t getting anywhere near the end of hers. And it is already not the full curriculum it would have been two years ago. Yet we know many people who have been in school full time who aren’t playing this game of shifting curriculum to a later year. At some point kids leave APS. And you are saying it is totally fine that they haven’t learned what they should have.
