[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APE members still are angry. In any thread you walk in, they still can't get over 2020. While it was awful, it's done and will never, ever happen again. I need a candidate who can stop talking about it, acknowledge the past, but look to the future. Miranda ain't it.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? I follow AEM and APE.  The only place I see people fighting about 2020 is on AEM. It's not APE that is stuck in 2020. [/quote]

Lol no one talks about it on AEM, except APE members. Even people here have pretty much moved on from 2020, except APE members.

Also, "Learning loss" is code for "I only care about what happened in 2020-21, and not the systemic learning disparities that happened before or after to marginalized groups." I roll my eyes at anyone (including Duran) who talks about it.[/quote]

Exactly. ”Learning loss” is part of the right’s continued attack on public schools.

They could address academic issues in a variety of ways and choose to focus on that and use those words.

Yup they want to be reimbursed for tutors or private schools. [/quote]

Interesting bc that is what Youngkin is proposing and I hope it passes bc we would like to recoup some of our costs. [/quote]

I don't. It's just going to be wealthy white parents who know to apply for it, who really don't need it. I'd rather see the funds go directly to those who really need it. [/quote]

Like a check to low income families to be used as they see fit? Or more resources for schools?  What are you thinking?[/quote]

I don't have a specific plan but I think to schools --- and to be used for students in the highest need groups - black, brown, disabled, ELL, etc.

I don't want this going to opportunity hoarding priviled white people[/quote]

Tutoring doesn't have to be vouchers given to parents like Youngkin has proposed.  It's the afterschool tutoring programs already happening, or paying teachers who want to tutor after school, or giving more students small group interventions in school is essentially high dose tutoring.  Lots of ways to provide more tutoring without giving publicly subsidizing vouchers.[/quote]
