[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we using Texas and Florida as examples?  Connecticut, Delaware and New Jersey all did better than Virginia.  Let's choose better foils.[/quote]

There were school systems in CT that went back *after* APS.

APS had a reasonable approach to handle this unprecedented emergency. Get over it.

Agree to disagree here... those that didn't want to return had an option, everyone else did not and was stuck w/2 days when it should have been 4/5. [/quote] And this, children, is what we call opportunity hoarding. It’s a token of white privilege and says more about the people demanding more more more than the system that tried to give a decent amount to as many students as possible. [/quote]

I'm not sure how it would be opportunity hoarding if every student in APS had the opportunity to return for a greater number of in-person.  Where privilege in Arlington kicks in is with wealthy people having greater opportunities than less privileged people have--tutors, private sports coaches, DL pods in huge houses with ample space,complete with simulated classrooms, on-site 'working' from home parents, etc.[/quote] Oh come on, 50% of FRL elementary students initially came back in hybrid, as opposed to 60% of all elementary students.  It wasn't all or nothing.  And APS could have done more outreach to communities who weren't coming back at the same rate, as was done by FCPS, and should have made sure needy students were able to return by providing them with busing and before/after care.[/quote]
