[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unbelievable. But honestly OP where is the outrage? Why are people just accepting this, with an occasional “can you believe it” and shake of the head?

Where is the national media? Where are the parents rallying and make the lives of school board members hell? Where are the pro-kid candidates stepping up to replace them?[/quote]

I'm with others. I'm still so furious. I can't believe that the board and APS are throwing away the rest of the year that is equivalent to summer school and just calling it a wash. I am also so very tired. I don't even know what to do anymore. The only option that doesn't seem like it has been pursued is for people with connections at higher levels to leverage those and lean on APS. That's it. Nothing else has worked. It is disgusting and disappointing.

I keep an eye on the case counts, the last few days were: 3,8,5. We are so far beyond reasonable or rational in operating this way. Our kids are paying the price. I cannot understand why people think this is fine. [/quote]

Written with all sincerity, this level of anger is not healthy for you or your family. This is not going to happen this year and no one at higher levels is going to change it at this point. [/quote]

When you have family and friends in other states who are public school educators and employees, and are so outraged and horrified by what is happening here that they offer to take temporary custody of your child to enroll them in school, then the anger is justified. We have spent thousands of dollars on care and tutoring for our child this year and it has still mostly been a waste.

Our friend who is a director of SPED for a district in another state said it took them months to recover and bring kids back to appropriate levels just from their spring shut down last year. Everyone in Arlington wants to stick their head in the sand and pretend that everything is fine and our kids are just the same as everyone everywhere else. That is such a false narrative, it is outrageous, and will be sadly comical when the fantasy is smashed to pieces when reality comes crashing in hard and they have to come to terms with everything that has happened. I'd like to hear your thoughts on outrage then when everyone's kids are testing behind, etc etc. and they start to lose it. [/quote]
