[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The comment was implying that we need to cater to the “good” rich parents as if their wishes mattered more than everyone else’s.

The people we know who’ve left won’t be coming back if it’s hybrid or 5-day in-person anyway. So it’s an empty “threat”.  [/quote]

People will twist and turn any comments on here to identify and attack "privileged parents". There was nothing wrong with that comment unless you twist it and read it to suit your own personal judgment. [/quote]

So you think APS should make decisions based on what the "good" rich parents do?

My personal judgement is that we live in a community with many different interests and challenges. APS needs to balance the needs of all kids and families. I don't think the "good" rich families have any more say than anyone else.

The inference of someone commenting on a family being "good" means they are rich/privileged is pretty pathetic. Should that poster had said "bad families that contribute time/resources to our child's educational experience are leaving"? would that make you feel better? [/quote]

Do you think APS should be catering to these good/bad families?

^^ still waiting on this.

Do you think APS should cater to the (good/bad) families who have the luxury of leaving APS?

I think APS should cater to ALL families. APS is losing a lot of families due to their mishandling of the past year. Many of these families did in fact, have a positive impact on our schools for ALL kids through their effort/time and resources. [/quote]

Exactly - but don't dare call these families references above "good families" - apparently it's a comment citing privilege. [/quote]

Yes, the families who are leaving DO have the luxury of leaving. Stop being so obtuse.

Those families aren't owned anything any more than any other family. They are no more valuable than any other family.
