[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I really don't understand the APS apologists. We all agree that APS teachers were unhappy this year, right? They got poor info from administrators and a constantly changing story. The tech was terrible. The RTS planning atrocious. Disorganized and ever changing. [b]So why is it so hard to believe that many teachers had terrible morale and underperformed?[/b] There was no incentive to do better. There was no enthusiasm. It was a long and terrible slog. I'm sure some with a naturally peppy disposition managed to keep their pep, but that surely wasn't universal.[/quote]

[b]Oh, I see, we are judging teacher quality on how "peppy" teachers are.[/b] [/quote]

Yes, the entitled parents are judging on exactly that.  Any time a teacher has said that they had kids not showing up, turning off their cameras and peacing out instead of doing their work or paying attention, the hysteri-mommies came rushing out of the woodwork to tell them that "my precious snowflake would participate if only YOU WERE MORE ENGAGING" (read:  entertaining, dancing and cavorting like a party clown, and somehow magically able to compete with lack of parenting, lack of supervision, lack of clearly enforced parental expectations, oh, and video games and YouTube).[/quote]

Ah yes, the peppiness patrol! Not just moms, though, we have at least one APS admin like this. She likes to point out that there aren’t behavior problems at birthday parties because the entertainers are so engaging, and wonders why we can’t be more like that.[/quote]

Yes, let’s all be like Chuck E. Cheese.[/quote]
