[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course kids are learning way less this year. Teachers are cutting 1/3-1/2 the curriculum and there are way fewer instructional hours. The situation is even worse than we can see because there is very lenient grading and rampant cheating going on. Our kids are SO behind their counterparts at private schools and public schools that are open. And, not only that, but the school day will still be significantly reduced even when they are in-person because "equity" - can't have regular school hours in-person if virtual kids aren't getting the same! The equity mission at APS is out of hand. Everyone needs to be reaching out to APS and school board and tell them to end this nonsense. We need regular hours at school, put more kids on busses to make logistics easier, move to 3 feet distancing for elementary. And, most importantly, pay attention to school board elections and stop blindly voting for whoever the ACDC endorses. I hope they find a good candidate, but they have a very bad track record.[/quote]

That’s right. My kids aren’t going to be shorted a minute of instruction just because you’re fine with yours eating lunch with 100 unmasked kids. Any believe me, I’ll be regularly communicating with whoever I need to ensure that “equity.”  And there’s lots of us. And the administration listens to us a lot more than the APE screamers.  You’re welcome![/quote]

My relatives' kids in Connecticut public school have been back full-time (eating lunch with 100s of unmasked children) and everything has been fine in that school system. My older ones in private schools have been hybrid since September.  Again, everything is perfectly fine.

Vaccinate the teachers and DONE.  Nobody under the age of 18 has died from Covid in my County.[/quote]

Glad you’re willing to bear that risk. Not many people in this country are recommending indoor dining. [b]So I think you may be the outlier here.[/b] You and the APE crowd. [/quote]

Not the outlier.  I think you'd be surprised if you talk to people in real life.  Perhaps get off AEM for a while.

You're free to keep your kid home if you don't want lunch inside.  No one is forcing you back.  [/quote]

I am. And I’m fine with that. And I’m fine with you sending yours. But don’t start arguing that “the equity mission has gotten out of hand” and  your kids in person should get more instructional time than mine. That’s the point. [/quote]
