[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Lots of thoughts and feedback. Appreciate it. But also curious, for everyone that is bothered by the lack of readily available resources for kids who need support—are you all advocating to your individual school admins or the school board or the county board? The wheels of advocacy don’t turn if only one person is pushing. I’d love to think we are all collectively using our voices and power to raise these issues, but, it seems like a lot of Arlingtonians are comfortable just complaining and leaving it at that.

We did discuss holding our child back after the pandemic. The school emphasized that they really only do that for kids who are not at grade level with social emotional/maturity issues. I would argue that the pandemic should suspend historical notions of what the criteria are for holding a child back.

We have had him assessed for learning disabilities, and he does not have any per the testing about two years ago.

He was in K when covid struck and all of the useless virtual school time really set him back. I did not receive millions of dollars in federal funding to address that, APS did. Can we all push this responsibility on them where it belongs?[/quote]

People are advocating for these things.  Parents and staff included. Lots of apologists giving APS and school board cover to not do more.  [/quote]
