[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't both of you know that APS's data can never be trusted? They don't know what's happening over the next year. They didn't even survey most of the private school families that left. I should know. I was one of them. My kids are going back to their neighborhood schools in the fall. APS will find out when I enroll them again in the upcoming weeks.

APS has a rude awakening awaiting them.[/quote]

Shame on you for waiting this long to re-enroll. [/quote]

:P  :P  :P

Thanks for the belly laugh but nah. I don't owe APS or you anything.

There was a large contingent of APS families at our private school last year, and we had until May 31 to renew our contracts. We'll see how many of them trickle in over the summer.

You realize waiting until the last minute to enroll just screws over your own child right?  They are obligated to take them, but if they don’t know early enough how many kids will be in each grade, they don’t have time to hire qualified teachers.  You end up with larger class sizes or the bottom of the barrel staffing wise (teachers hired in August are probably not anyone’s first pick).[/quote]

I agree in theory, but many parents don't want to be stuck with distance learning if it happens again. Like someone said a few pages back, most private schools had a May 31 deadline to fully commit, so it's done. People should re-enroll now.

I wonder though how many people are holding out to see if they get off the private school waitlists? That could screw over APS too if they end up being overstaffed.

I'm calling BS on this last minute enrollment anecdotal story.  A poster said it earlier to talk about how enrollment is getting ready to SURGE before the poster was kindly shown that APS has already disclosed unenrollment for next year is at a record (at least 8%).  There's 0 incentive to not tell APS you're coming back if there's any remote chance that you are.  Like you'd want your kid having larger class sizes.

Most likely, it was Ventilation Queen, CO2 Monitor Woman or the typical crew of "Keep Schools Closed" crew who will go to any length to not admit they were wrong.  The Outdoor Lunch Petitioner described dining indoors at school to the press as a "high-risk activity" (like free solo rock climbing is, but for a disease for a healthy child is less dangerous than the flu according to the CDC).

The moderator at AEM lets them run wild on AEM, spreading misinformation.  Here, they don't have to use their name.  The moderator at AEM needs to hand off the reins because she has failed this community the past year. [/quote]

Wow, did angry bro dad who demands the termination of Duran and resignations of SB members show up again? There's still time for you to get help, you know.[/quote]

DP and not angry dad, but I completely agree with the above post. [/quote]
