[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't wait for the new Secretary of Education to crank all the data on the harm caused by VA's (and especially NOVA's) prolonged school closures last year. It really takes an effort and cow-towing to the teachers' unions to finish 44th of 50 states in in-person days.

It will be nice too to have someone who focuses on learning loss, instead of trying to sweep it under the rug because they want to hide the damage they caused by such school closures - not "because of COVID", but "because of school districts' reaction to COVID".[/quote]

Oh, c'mon now.  No one is sweeping anything under the rug; however, the continued flagellation of teachers is getting tedious.[b]  School systems made best choices they could with the information they had. [/b] Many parents, like my husband and me, and our friends, stepped up and our kids had a great year last year.  Parents like you sat on your a33es and b1tched the entire time, and then you acted surprised when your kid had learning loss.  I don't need some number cruncher to tell me why my kids thrived and yours didn't.[/quote]

Yes. Not that the irrational parents throwing tantrums would recognize that.

APS was likely in the bottom 5% for in-person days for ES kids in the entire state of VA last school year, but it was the parents who were being irrational? Sure. That type of thinking is why we now have Governor Youngkin soon.[/quote]

Yes, the parents were irrational then and they are irrational now.

Youngkin was elected because there were just enough irrational parents to vote R.
