[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly do not understand some of you. What happened during COVID was horrific for many parents and children. Some kids were basically abandoned by society, and the consequences for that were and remain awful. And yes, during this awful time, some people were awful as well.

As far as I can tell, Miranda Turner was not one of those people. She was part of a big group of parents, some of whom acted in terrible ways, but who, as a whole, were right to be fighting for more in-person learning time for kids. This is born out now by national and local data.

I do not understand why some of you blame her for the actions of a few people. The APE FB group has over 1000 members. She was supposed to personally control all of them? And also, keep in mind, some of these families were suffering hugely from APS' decisions.

I am not condoning the worst of the behavior, but it was a hard time and MANY people did and said things I hope they regret now. That also includes people who wanted schools closed, who basically said anyone who wanted schools open wanted to murder teachers. There was A LOT of rhetoric both ways, please keep in mind.

Unless you have evidence Miranda Turner personally was yelling at teachers, this is a completely unfair discussion.[/quote]
