[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty funny that the organizer of this is keeping her kids home. The irony is that she is always attacking anyone who pulled kids from APS to send to private. She seems to think those parents should stay quiet and not advocate to open APS. Does she have self-awareness. But whatever, I’ll sign her petition so long as it doesn’t delay reopening timeline. These things go nowhere anyway. [/quote]

Not sure why you find this funny. I'm keeping my kid home because his school is putting them all into a cafeteria together. Maybe your kids are in private or in a school with better lunch plans so this is amusing to you. But not to me. [/quote]

It’s funny because the organizer lacks self-awareness. I pulled my kids to private because I need to go to work 5 days a week and can’t leave them home alone. I saw the writing early on and frantically applied and got them into a catholic. It’s not a long term solution for my family and I want my kids back in their neighborhood school. Yet she constantly attacks people like me for not having my kids in public, as if I forfeited all right to advocate to APS. (Btw, I don’t actually post on AEM in part because of nasty mean people like her that attack others. So, yes, it’s funny her logic doesn’t apply to herself. Perfectly okay for her to advocate on lunch even though she is t sending her kids - yea, sure. For the record, I think both parents in both cases should be able to advocate. But HER hypocrisy IS funny, in a sad way. [/quote]

It's not hypocritical. Her kids are still in the system, whereas yours are not. That's a pretty fundamental difference in terms of having skin in the game. So I have no problem at all with her advocating for outdoor lunch, as it may someday benefit her kid(s) at some point and will definitely benefit other kids in the short term. [/quote]

You really don’t see how silly it is in both scenario? Hey single mom that had to pull 5 yo out of APS so she can actually go to work to keep a roof over her head: shut up! You’re not in the system anymore! What’s that? You can’t afford another yet of private and desperately need to APS to be 5 days a week? Too bad, so sad you pulled your kids and have no skin in the game! This lady is one of the most notorious trolls on AEM, so for that reason alone I wouldn’t sign it. I wouldn’t trust her intentions or sincerity AT ALL. Also I feel very safe with APS plan to eat outdoors when feasible or in the classroom. I’m comfortable with it because it’s what my kids’ school has been doing all year - 5 days a week![/quote]

NP: I agree that outdoor lunch is better than indoor lunch.  And I agree that that is what APS is already doing and saying.  I absolutely do not trust the organizer of this petition.   Yes, who the organizer is as a big influence on why I will not sign- b/c I view this as an attempted 'poison pill.'   She is absolutely vicious and mean, and kind of crazy.   The last thing  I want to do is give her a further platform.[/quote]

Wow. So much nasty. It’s a petition to help our community, but I guess it’s more important to be spiteful.  :roll:

DP.  The point is, not everyone trusts the person who created this petition to act in the best interests of the full community.  That’s not hateful or spiteful, it’s just reality based on what they have seen from her in the past.[/quote]

I mean, what exactly do you think she's going to do with it? It's a freakin' petition (that won't really do anything).

The language is pretty clear - you can either support it or not. But it's spiteful to oppose *just* because you don't like the organizer.
