[quote=Anonymous]APS only cares about doing what is easier, and then covering up their true reasons with the fig leaf of "equity". They don't really care about equity - the concept just happens to overlap with the principle of getting away with the least work possible.

It was [i]easier[/i] to shut down school for the whole year without any kind of a vote - it did not promote equity.

It is [i]easier[/i] to give multiple opportunities to reach a desired testing outcome instead of holding anyone accountable.

It is [i]easier[/i] to just give everyone a day off for any random holiday rather than creating a calendar that makes hard trade offs in the name of educating children.

It is [i]easier[/i] for the SB to have opinions on boundary lines than anything substantive regarding pedagogical methods.

It is [i]harder[/i] to stand up a virtual school - and look how successful they were with that! But starting a virtual school is [i]easier[/i] than building a physical school, so kudos for that perverted kind of long-term planning, I guess.[/quote]
