I mean, this might be effective for high school age kids[b], but elementary kids literally don’t even get grades anymore. I’d try a different angle to convince parents school is important. [/b]

But the PP is right that APS should apologize, or at least acknowledge what happened during the pandemic re: schools, attitudes, etc. Maybe show families studies of how much no school screwed things you for kids. How can they espouse the importance of school attendance with a straight face after 2020-2021 otherwise?[/quote]

What good would that do at this point? It's not going to change learning loss, it isn't going to cover the fees we have to pay for tutors and it's not going to change the current situation. If they had to apologize for every mistake we we would flooded with apologies all the time...[/quote]

So, just because ES kids don't get grades, a "different angle" should be taken for everyone? What about using tailor-made approaches for each level, instead of throwing out perfectly good and age-appropriate suggestions for teens?[/quote]
