[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So it wasn't the best they could do? What you are saying is that they were purposely trying to deny kids access to education? That's absurd. You are making judgements on what happened in hindsight. There is no way the goal of APSA was to have less achievement.[/quote]
Not hindsight. Many of us were critical of APS's decisions all the way through.  The administration put student learning absolutely last on their list of priorities throughout the pandemic.  [/quote]

You being critical of a decision two years sho is not at all congruous to APS actively trying to torpedo student achievement. Everyone was worried about health implications. You and your bubble may have fared fine, but there are large areas of the county which would not have. We are all still figuring it out. Get over it instead of trying to retroactively torpedo APS.

I’m thinking you are a private school parent trying to justify the amount you paid for your House AND the price of tuition.[/quote]
It wasn't one decision.  APS made terrible decision after terrible decision throughout the pandemic, from how they implemented virtual learning to delays bringing students back.  I'm actually the parent praising APS for how this year went for my K and 3rd grader earlier on this thread.  APS does okay when things are close to business as usual as possible.  But I still consider that APS totally failed to serve its students from March 2020 to September 2021.   There is more that could be done now, but that "pandemic period" was shameful.  APS should be embarrassed and leadership should be called to account.[/quote]
