I mean, this is borderline incompetence. Did APS really not think this through?

Did you think sh&t wouldn't happen during a week bracketed by two snowstorms, a Covid wave of positives in the region, and a teacher shortage? GFY.

Nope- it’s obviously none of those things that make sense- it’s APS and it’s hatred of parents.

It isn’t but if teachers put in for a sub because their kids are gone then there is no one to teach your kids….

Hmm. So it’s almost like they rely on schools being open to have someplace to send their kids so it doesn’t impact their ability to work?

Here's an idead- why don't all the unemployed, rich, stay-at-homes in the east end (that constantly cheerlead ACPS) step up and teach?

I actually think it was surprising that other districts chose to close. So I can forgive them for this.

This is why they need to go virtual for another week or so - at least for middle and high school. The staffing swings are going to be happening for the next few weeks. County guidance is back to ten days out at a time. At least this way the older kids who can manage themselves can get some schoolwork in.

It is shocking. And also fccps, their neighbor, was open today and will be open tomorrow. Dcps, their neighbor, is open tomorrow.
