[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This wouldn’t have happened if APS stuck with concurrent and kept the virtual kids in their schools like last
year but the Open Up Now parents lobbied against that. [b]They really screwed over the virtual kids. Selfish. [/b]

We’ll if their parents weren’t lunatics they would be altering an education. In person. Selfish parents. Not talking about the medically necessary. [/quote]

I am not sure what you are trying to say. Are you really saying that the parents who chose virtual for their families are lunatics? So much for APE saying they just wanted choice. Now APE attacks anyone who doesn't choose the same thing they want. [/quote]

So everyone who disagrees with the virtual program is now APE? APS is the only district that opened virtual up to students w/o any medical reason and it's failing miserably at provided such services, which means those who truly NEED to be virtual are suffering the consequences. [/quote]

so now you're blaming the families who chose virtual for APS's failure. Classy. [/quote]
I’m a new poster.  There is plenty of blame to go around:
1.  Duran and Loft for thinking that they could get a whole new program up and running and then failing miserably.  It would have made much much more sense to have virtual classes at the neighborhood schools when they realized they didn’t have the staffing to an independent program off.  They are not agile, not creative thinking, and too stubborn for the situations rising from covid.  
2.  Aps planning for pushing for a virtual program for so long to avoid building a new highschool.  Loft and Duran went with an independent program because they wanted it to succeed so they didn’t have to build a new school.
3.  The school board for not holding Duran and loft accountable and allowing them to spend god knows how much on a program very few people want, and is not actually serving the kids in it at all.  I really hope they don’t count waiting room time as teaching hours.
4.  The parents who chose virtual even though they had no medical need.  Would I have liked to keep my kids home and avoid the worry and potential wack-a-mole of quarantines and covid exposures?  Yes.  But my kids have no need to be virtual, and the virtual program should have been kept for kids with a documented medical need.   Not just because you’re scared of covid.  You made it so the kids who really need the program don’t have teachers, and they can’t do things like combine grades because it’s too big.  
5.  The smart restart people for fear mongering.  I hear well educated, smart vaccinated people say that they are afraid for their vaccinated children to ride the school bus and eat indoors.  The risk is small if you are vaccinated!! Why would we contact trace a 5 minute bus ride!  You guys are acting crazy!
6.  The ape people for yelling and teachers last year and making it so many left the profession.
7.  The idiots who are anti mask and antivax.  I don’t think I need to say why.  [/quote]

I agree with the poster on AEM that said that every person in Syphax with a teaching certification needs to step up and staff the program until they can hire more. The entire fault of VLP failing right now is on Duran and his administration. They had 17.5 months to figure out virtual education, yet they fell on their collective a$$es again.

And where are all of the teachers that were scared of entering schools last March. Were they given an option to teach virtually? Genuine question, if anyone on the teacher/staff side can answer.

Breakthrough COVID is real. We including 3 of our 4 children were positive over the summer, and while we were in no danger of dying, I in particular was miserable and still can't taste anything weeks later. It's becoming a quality of life issue now. One of my children is now chronically tired (not eligible to be vaccinated yet). If I had the opportunity, I would have put my children in the virtual program right then, but based on it's implementation, I'm glad I didn't. I feel so terrible though for many going through the third day of no education.

Also curious why they weren't able to transfer teachers who stayed virtual last year. There are more immunocompromised teachers in APS than I thought, but all of them are back in their schools.[/quote]
