[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am screaming here in my mind at some of the backseat comments posted here. I am a parent here with DC that is diagnosed with learning disabilities and  during virtual learing they got little to no support despite virtual learning be a disaster for them. There are still learning gaps in my DC 2nd grade classroom in non title I north APS classroom.  I know because I request math materials being taught to be sent home a head of time, and the circulum is the end of first grade. So not only is my  DC behind,but many are. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if most students are still behind it is a high probability that those with a disability are even further behind. I agree the COVID-19 remediation support money was mismanaged, and it still digusts me.....sorry it is harder to let go when you had to pay thousands for tutoring support and math curriculum for home to basically catch your child up despite working 40 plus hours a week yourself.....so yes sorry it is easier said than done to just get over how APS is doing little to nothing to support our youngest learners that lost the most fundamental skills during virtual!!!!!  For crying out loud my DC 1st grade teacher was given permission to ask parents to volunteer to come in and support her all of last year because the learning lost was so grave, and why because APS had no funds to support an aide as they have in K classrooms. I know several other school districts that did use the government funds for tutoring support etc. People are being prosecuted for Misuse or lying on their PP loans so why shouldn't a school district be held to a same standard 🤔 for misuse of government aide funds????? So please save your empty comments unless you have experienced what OP is referring to or can at least empathize with it as it is a real problem ongoing. [/quote]

OP here. Thank you for your post and I’m sorry for what you have gone through. I had no idea that a teacher was given permission to have parents come into the classroom. That is astounding. And I wish people would wave that massive red flag right in the entire county leaderships’ faces. How unacceptable that things have sunk to such a point. Would you be willing to share what school that was?  I am tired of being gaslit by APS and others who want to just say it’s no big deal blah blah blah.

I am so exhausted from all of it. Of course I will advocate tooth and nail for my child but APS is supposed to be my partner. Not my adversary. We pay exorbitant taxes for them to educate my child. Not try to do everything but provide services.

I appreciate the other thoughtful comments on this thread. [/quote]
