[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It amazes me how parents complain about overcrowding, but want these same overcrowded schools to open. Where do they think the kids are going to space out?  Do you think the 600+ student body elementary schools, or any middle and HS have the space to spread out?

Where are you going to get the buses from?  In the summer they showed how there weren't enough buses and hours to get the kids to school, even with hybrid.  And, while many said their kids would walk or they’d do drop off, bussing is required. It’s part of the whole free and accessible concept.

Finally, perhaps many of the ‘stay online’ parents have found a resource that allows their kids to attend school and they can go to work- be it a pod where families take turns hosting, or a child care facility that offers DL time. To move to a hybrid would likely create challenges to many families if there isn’t after care, or buses aren’t available to take to programs.

This whole school year sucks. It sucks for everyone. Every kid is getting less than they would in a classroom. Every parent is becoming burnt out by the stress and demand of home, work, and school.   But let’s makes this about the unfair burden the poor folk of Arlington are putting on everyone because of ‘equity’. [/quote]

I sure hope you are not a teacher. The attack on parents that simply care about their kids' mental health and education is pathetic. My family moved to Arlington specifically because of the "top notch" public school system. APS is showing it's true colors and is anything but that. [/quote]
