[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I seem to remember in-person kindergarten information night was just a gym full of parents and each school having a little table.  It was hardly hard hitting information.

[b]I do agree letting us know the presentation would be recorded and available at 6:30pm, instead of acting like it was a live meeting, would have be preferable.  6:30 is a busy time in our house.

But you are expecting too much from something that is aimed at people who are brand new to APS.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you this is I think the root cause of my ire; we put it in the calendar, hurried through dinner, scrambled and rushed to... a recording.  I think besides my latent cynism from other beefs (we need a 4th high school, our kids reading neglect, reading about the HBW fixed lottery) it just kind of put me over the top.  Why pretend its a live event?

Honestly, sure its for new parents, but education is going through a tidal wave of changes; I also know APS is moving away from lucy calkins, and speaking to the new reading curriculum or honstly anything concrete about academics (you know the purported purpose of a school) would have been reassuring.  Instead it was a nothingburger that touted equity again.  We get it.  We are trying to make things equal. And then what happens... we never get past that.[/quote]
