[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This comes up every year. Why can't APS find another solutions that will accommodate families with one parent or who have night jobs, etc. [/quote]

So if they have it during the day, people with day jobs can’t go. When do you propose it happens?

I’m a teacher and we always send out the slideshow after to everyone. If you can’t come the information will be disseminated. Please don’t bring your kids. If you have 2 parents have one stay home with kids.[/quote]

I wish APS had stuck with zoom BTSN. It’s such a clusterf*ck and always during the first week of school when preschools, other schools schedule them, scouts starts up, sports begin, etc. I much prefer listening with AirPods while sitting with my kids. Nothing is earth shattering, and there’s no need to be there in person. [/quote]

I know - it’s crazy that they lived virtual school and how people begged for it but something as mundane as back to school night demands an in person presence

The ZOOM method of BTSN was a disasterous experience. When you're sent the wrong link for a class, you can't get in to your child's actual class session. If they know about the problem and the wrong teacher provides the correct link, the session is half over by the time you get in to the correct session. You can't hear everything when a teacher can't stop shuffling papers by their mic and the chat log is a distraction that you don't really want to turn off because there's inevitably an "I'll post the link in the chat"

If they're going to do it virtually, they should extend the length of each class session. In person, if one session runs over and you're late to the next, at least you have an opportunity to pickup the paperwork or quickly ask the teacher a question before rushing off to the next session, if you're even going to the next session.  You can also sneak in a few minutes here and there before or after either with a specific teacher or just looking around the classroom or the building.[/quote]
