[quote=Anonymous]Are any of you paying attention to what APE is trying to accomplish? They are investing and volunteering time/effort and energy into the serious issues with the APS administration. I really do not care where the heck funding comes from, but I do care about the decline in our student's education for the past 18 months.

I'm not going to rehash all the data that shows how terribly APS handled the pandemic, and how pathetic their approach to learning loss is. (no big surprise as they only want to pat themselves on the back rather than admit learning loss is real).

Sadly I pulled my kids from APS (the writing was on the wall that APS is in complete disarray).

My 4th grader is operating at 2nd grade math level. Fortunately his new school is devoting extra resources and effort to get him to where he needs to be. But the administration was shocked at how much instruction did not happen for the past year and a half. Guess what - they went through the same damn pandemic as APS.

My 6th grader is in a similar situation, but not as bad as my youngest. The younger grades never should have been remote  for so long, in addition to asynchronous Mondays and shortened school days.

I'm furious (still) with APS because these kids deserve better. An administration that actually cares and engages the community is very necessary right now, and sadly I think the pressure from APE is the only way to potentially get there. [/quote]
