[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am simply disgusted by what this pandemic has brought out among Arlington’s most privileged.  My neighbors and my kids’ friends parents. I knew these folks weren’t, as a group, concerned about much other than their own success.  I knew they liked to talk liberal Democrat but ultimately look out for number one. But this has really shown me how little many people care about what they say or who they hurt. And how unable they are to weather any adversity they can’t but their way of. Truly disgusted by this post and everyone supporting it. [/quote]

What exactly are you complaining about?  That people want their kids to get a good education, because they moved to Arlington rather than PG county or DC likely for that exact reason.

We do need to hold APS to account, because their approach has squandered significant time and resources, and if the schools start suffering worse outcomes, property values will decline and then all students of all stripes will need to work with less.[/quote]

The problem is this has gone on far too long, with little to no improvement on a specific plan with dates for kids to return to the classroom for families that have made that choice. Dr. Duran is not making a plan in the best interest of all families in Arlington. He is taking sides with the communities choosing remote, which could be underlying discrimination for those that chose hybrid. [/quote]

Duran is not taking sides.  He is trying to balance competing needs between health, staffing, and resources.

To be completely honest, the polls for families choosing hybrid or DL weren't to assess parental sentiment for opening or closing, it simply to identify which resources would be needed where at that point that they can open safely.

I suspect Duran, rightly so, is not making opening schools a popularity contest for parents sitting at home doing Q-anon style "research" of school opening risk and safety to make their recommendations.  He simply wanted to get input to plan for resourcing and staffing, and all of you suddenly felt so important that you were "voting" for hybrid, its kinda hilarious.[/quote]
