[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What can be done about this? I am furious. Is anyone advocating? Are any of these idiots running for reelection? Any recalls? [/quote]

YES! There IS something that can be done — vote for Miranda Turner in the caucus in May.  She is running for the open seat on the school board.  She has been advocating for our kids since the start. She’s smart, reasonable (not one of the crazy open school people) — she understands all the issues facing APS and most importantly - she puts the STUDENTS first.  Check out her website and sign up for her newsletter mirandaturner.org

The caucus will be held in May - ONLINE - so no excuse not to vote.  [/quote]

She is one of the APE leaders. By default, that makes her a crazy open schools person.

Not at all. The open schools people are going to be born out to be not crazy. (OK, some of them are. :) ) But the ones who want schools open with ventilation and masks (like Miranda) are right. We've done huge damage to our kids by staying closed so long. She's got my vote.[/quote]

I don’t know much about the school board candidates, and I’m not a member of APE, so I can’t comment on who is “crazy” and who isn’t. But I agree that the decision to keep kids out of schools for a full year will definitely be one we regret when we look back on this time. [/quote]

That and the decision to hire Duran. Both Duran and Loft have done nothing but damage to our kids for the past year. An entire quarter with zero instruction, no plan to try to get the kids back in school full-time. Duran doesn't even know the status of waitlists for kids that want to switch to hybrid. One survery done back in the fall without any updates, etc etc..  They are AWFUL and have been so lazy throughout all of this. So much easier to just keep it as is and strip kids of their learning. We should file a class action lawsuit. [/quote]

Perhaps you should apply for one of their positions, or offer them your services as an expert consultant. :roll: [/quote]

My favorite part of your comment is that there are crazy "consultants" on both sides of the open school debate, APE and SMART or whatever. Who are experts in whatever you need: ventilation, survey research, adolescent psychology, epidemiology, statistics, data presentation... [/quote]
