[quote=Anonymous]We have always been public school parents, but then COVID-19 happened, and APS became a completely different experience . . . academic rigor completely gone, more than 50% of classroom time on ipad or ipad-based instruction, no grades or other decipherable way of telling how your child is actually doing with inflation of comments and meaningless report cards, no homework, no differentiated learning, but most of all, incredibly disgruntled and disengaged teachers.  We were at ASFS, and our bright and happy children begged us to home school them - "why do I have to go to school when all we do all day is sit on the ipad, and I'm not learning anything?"  Now that both children are in private schools, both are much happier, they are actually learning, and we can see their progress.  We had not budgeted for it, but APS is a mess.  Maybe high school will be better, but we hear that while you can get the information transfer in public, the difference is that teachers in private actually have time and interest in seeing you learn it, whereas in public, they are too burned out or disengaged to care.[/quote]
