[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I totally agree with you.

APS is a disgrace. The lack of leadership displayed during the pandemic will cause lasting negative outcomes for students. If you're crazy enough to be defending APS on here you're either completely out of your mind, fine with a below-average performance from a school, or a teacher.

My biggest problem is that APS is fine with the status quo. They are lazy - they have literally referred to situations as being "too hard". There is no leadership, NONE! They think the lowest learner in the room should dictate the entire classroom education, that's their version of equity, which is completely wrong. They don't communicate proactively. They lie. They are not transparent. They hire a bunch of fraudulent administrators and the central office is bloated with unnecessary admin roles. APS is going to be the new ACPS. So many families are going private - and the sad thing is that they are the ones that stand up and advocate on behalf of students. They ask the hard questions and challenge APS and they are over it now and leaving. APS is going to get a lot worse over the next few years. Watch and see. I hope all you suckers defending APS enjoy your child's future of mediocrity. Because that's what you're going to get. [/quote]

PS-(S)he resides in Arlington where all of the schools and teachers are below-average. (As evidenced by the million dollar homes only the peons can afford)[/quote]

Honey, barely anyone in those homes sends their kids to APS, come on. [/quote]

The houses in my north arlington neighborhood regularly sell for 1 million or more and nearly everyone here sends their kids to APS.  Our house isn't even recently built or updated and it's valued north of 900K.

But to address PP before this, not sure what that angry lady's problem is.  If anything it seems to me like the people who have been MOST upset about the way this last year has gone are the people who are newest to APS and have worked in the APS system the least, haven't volunteered on committees, don't really know how APS works.  You're saying BEWARE because those people are full of complaints and are fleeing to privates?  GOOD!  Don't let the door hit you etc.  You guys want to come to School Board meetings having trained your kids what to say and disrespect teachers and other speakers at the meeting and then get huffy when you don't automatically get your way?  Just go!

For the folks who aren't like that but have had a really bad year:  My experience with APS has not reflected what your school year has been like this year.  I don't know whether it's your school or just this terrible year.  I do think next year will be better; all signs point to yes.  Good luck and I hope you get through this.[/quote]
