[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most people generally fault APS leadership and admin for this manufactured crisis. There is also resentment for teachers who were very vocal on social media with their Open Coffins Now rhetoric, etc.

Here is a nice and tidy summary of why parents are beyond frustrated and furious:

-APS March 2020: We're not going to teach new material, but we will get the kids caught back up with intense instruction next year.
-APS September 2020: We're going to shorten the school day and cut one day of instruction a week, but this will not affect instruction.
-APS November 2020: A lot more kids are failing, but we will identify kids at risk and reach out to them to get them caught up.
-APS February 2021: The kids are still failing, but we will offer summer school to everyone to make up for a lack of instruction this year.
-APS May 2021: We're not going to offer summer school to everyone who needs it.[/quote]

My child's teachers have been amazing. They get an A+ and I totally understand why teachers don't want to do summer school. My anger is only for how APS central administration has handled everything. [/quote]
