[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a NP. We like our child's elementary school. Of course, much education in the past year and a half was due to parents.

We pick up free school lunch because it's popular in our household and as a free USDA program open to everyone, it is the only "stimulus" we qualify for. We aren't eligible for stimulus checks but saved on groceries especially not buying milk or apples and oranges all year.

The fundamentals of APS are good. They spend $21k per student.

I think they must do much soul searching after these 16 months. I'd not be surprised if they clean house.

Bridget Loft needs to go in my opinion. I am not entirely sure about Duran, I give him some grace as he was well-respected in Fairfax and inherited a bad situation, though his decisions were his decisions especially how he handled this spring after teachers were vaccinated.

It was wrong to use equity as an excuse to provide zero education Spring 2020, and the ways this year was handled.[/quote]

If you teach new material, you have to assess it.  If Bridget Loft had insisted we teach new material virtually, there are loads of parents that would’ve had a fit if they perceived their children’s grades had suffered in any way, aside from the logistics of a completely new instructional format.  I believe Durand decisions weren’t entirely based on the staff, but the kids, too.  Hybrid insured their health and safety.  I agree that they’ve both had an impossible situation to contend with.
