[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AEA’s ultimate position is that there should be no in-person learning until the pandemic is declared fully over, even if that’s through next school year and beyond.  They dress it up with a bunch of conditions that would need to be met, but every time APS approaches those goals, they just shift their position.  This isn’t surprising, because AEA isn’t an education association, it’s an unofficial teachers union, so students and education aren’t their priority, the teachers are.  This is also why AEA (like APE) doesn’t get to set the agenda, because they’re only looking out for one set of stakeholders and disregard the rest.  Duran’s job is to balance the needs of all of the stakeholders, which means we’re going to end up with a compromise position that isn’t what anyone wants.  The compromise is gong to happen regardless of how loud people scream, so the various groups can either accept that and take a seat at the table to help guide what it will look like, or they can be left out of the discussion.[/quote]

Is this for real? Imagine if every county in the country had such insane demands. [/quote]

No, it's not for real. That is probably the "moving the goalposts" poster who lives in an alternate reality.

The reality is that no one has implemented safety measures yet so APS schools can open safely. Not the federal government, not the state, not the county board, and not APS.

We need free, regular testing (entrance & surveillance), air filters for every classroom, PPE, etc.

Those are in the best interest of ALL stakeholders.

It is untrue that no safety measures have been implemented.  There is a summary of the safety measures implemented for Level 1 on the APS website.  You may not feel that the safety measures go far enough, but it is simply wrong to say there have been no safety measures implemented.[/quote]
