[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duran being in the drivers seat was a major factor here. He drove APS to the ground and now we are losing great teachers left and right. Such a poor leader[/quote]

You couldn’t be more wrong. Remember he came on board in May/June after the worst decisions in 2020 were made. He has put plans in place  to help teachers particularly over the last sux months. In the long term he’s going to be an amazing hire for APS. The only people that seem to  dislike him 
 are the the open schools now parents who have their kids in private anyway. The same parents that wanted to speak for minority families in South Arlington but were dead wrong on what they wanted. [/quote]

A majority of ethinic groups of wanted to come back in person, even if under-priviliged minorities were only slighly less than whites and Asians.

God, these closed schoolers can never admit they were wrong.  It's so pathetic.  The most loud-mouthed ones are affluent white women, many of whom don't work full-time outside of the home.  The definition of privilege.[/quote]

It was the right call at the time with the knowledge and resources available.

Guess your temper tantrums didn’t work. Maybe next time try something more constructive.

What?  It's been proven to be the absolute wrong call, especially looking at how much better kids did in places that didn't close public schools have done.  In fact, closed schools didn't help with COVID spread at all either.

[b]We knew schools were safe after Europe reopened them in the spring 2020[/b], and most of the US had by the fall 2020.  That's why NYC went ahead and opened schools in November 2020.  APS didn't until March 21!

So once again, the Trump-like closed schoolers can't admit they're wrong.  Take the L.[/quote]

Lies.

We didn’t “know” it was safe.

We expected the surge.

And APS started sending kids back in November.

It was the right call at the time.
