I wish I had the privilege to just pull my kids out of APS and go to private school like Miranda does. [/quote]

Well that sounds bitter.  She has 3 kids and 2 are in APS. And the kid in private apparently coming back to APS. You have no idea why one is in private or how they are managing it. Even one of our current SB members has or had kids in private school. Loads of APS families have one kid in private and others in APS. Most common for parents of SWDS. Focus on how to make APS better for all kids rather than worrying about what other families do. [/quote]

This is a privilege that most parents do not have. I have a child with severe special needs and I can't afford to pull them out of APS. Even if I could, I'm not sure a private school would take them.

[b]Why didn't she keep her kid in public and focus on making APS better for all kids, as you say?[/b] This would include mine.

And for that matter, I also find it interesting that she didn't keep her kids in Drew but decamped for Montessori.

Have you already forgotten how terrible virtual learning was? Because it was bad. [/quote]

No I didn't forget. I just didn't have her privilege to yank my kid. [/quote]

So you're saying you would have if it was an option. [/quote]

You're missing the point. I would like my school board members to be as invested as I am and to live under the same conditions I do, and most public school parents do. She has immense privilege to be able to pull her kid and go to private whenever she doesn't like something. The rest of us have to deal with the consequences of her action, but she does not.

Kind of like Youngkin with kids in private but does all sorts of cray cray stuff to public schools. [/quote]

no school board members 'live under the same conditions' as most public school parents.  In order to be a school board member you basically have to be a stay at home parent or have an extremely flexible job with very reduced hours- I don't know how Miranda is going to pull the job off.  This is pretty rare in APS.  [/quote]
