[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 4% that big of a deal? I expected the percentage to be in the double digits [/quote] Yes 4% loss is a big deal, and based on other areas concentrated at elementary school, it already means [b]fired teachers[/b] and if birth rates don’t return to “normal” school closures. Would you like a 4-5% pay cut? Or how about overhead for the next 5-7 years hoping some kids are born.[/quote] And yet APS is still looking for teachers, so it doesn't look as though firing will be necessary. I think the decline is a great development, because I think most of the families who left will not be missed. I feel bad for the ones whose kids needed special programs and were sliding without APS' support. The ones whose supergenius kids needed to be out of the parents' way? Buh-bye![/quote] Odd, the only people I know who went private were the well to do families. [/quote]
