[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP to this thread.  I don't like APE but haven't complained about them in this thread before.  I can see that prior APE shenanigans at school board meetings and PTA meetings has created a somewhat more hostile work environment for teachers (questioning whether they should receive shots, complaining that they weren't teaching remotely when most teachers I saw were putting in long hard hours, not giving them credit for working under difficult circumstances, generally having a "my way or the highway" attitude with teachers who are professionals with important jobs to teach our youth and not specifically your babysitters.  All of that would make me question whether I belong in the system fwiw.

Also, honestly, I don't think Dr. Duran's position toward staff is great.  I saw another thread about staff being allowed to work remotely and getting more paid time off than they used to get -- similar to teachers -- which doesn't really seem right to me.  Teachers should have more privileges than staff.  Teachers are on the front lines.  That could also be causing teachers to migrate to cushier staff positions, which would not be ideal imho.

So, anyway, I have a lot of APE thoughts that aren't positive but I don't come into every DCUM thread to post them.  [/quote]
These thoughts are all two years old.  Time for some new thoughts.[/quote]

You don't think it's demoralizing to teachers that the leader of this group is about to be on the school board? I do. [/quote]
