[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me at least, the main issue and irritant is the general head in the sand, "everything is fine!", tone and attitude coming from APS leadership and the Board.

It's not fine. It hasn't been fine. And, it won't be fine with A LOT of work to address all of the deficiencies.

I don't think any stable and rational adult is walking around making kids feel personally responsible or at fault for the fact that they are behind.

We were speaking with friends this week, and the wife is the director of Special Ed for a county in another state. They closed for March-June of 2020, and then re-opened all last year. She said that even just from the initial three month closure they saw a 35% drop across the board in how their kids were testing as compared to the previous year. I cannot even begin to imagine the magnitude of what this insanity will reveal about how far behind APS kids are....[/quote]

Yeah I agree there is that attitude and and it’s unacceptable. I pulled out my kid in the middle of the year last year to homeschool and I’m doing it again this year. I feel so bad for kids who are really behind but maybe with my kid gone those kids will get more attention. [/quote]
