[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Miranda speaks for her group of open schools parents whose new mantra is learning loss. Her base is privileged white parents who can afford tutors and private school. They are still mad at APS from Covid and want APS to pay them for it, because they pay their tax dollars and teachers work for them.

I'm not in this group so she doesn't speak for me or understand my community, and I don't think she ever will. I talked to her a couple of times. I tried to explain my kid's needs and the needs of my community but she did not get it at all. She didn't even listen. Instead she cut me off and jumped in to tell me how I felt, but she was totally off base. She substituted the views of her little narrow group for mine. Her campaign manager outright attacked me! I guess my views didn't fit her talking points for what my community *should* want.

I also think this group's view of teachers is downright disrespectful. Teachers are professionals, not servants. And servants should not be treated like that either, no one should.

I don't know who I will support yet but it will never be her.

Even our neighbors are doing more to address learning loss than APS is. Why shouldn't APS? And the kids most disadvantaged by learning loss are not the "privileged white parents who can afford tutors and private school" but all those kids who have been historically disadvantaged by APS.  Shouldn't APS be doing more just like all of our neighbors? Schools are going to be dealing with the fallout of this for years.  APS is not immune. [/quote]
