These kids have never held a real job, paid taxes can't even vote in a real election and are making adult decisions they know nothing about. It’s crap.

No. 1 is 1 too many. These are children.

These minors are routinely the most thoughtful Board members.

Thoughtful is useless. They have no real life experiences, have no understanding of finances or taxes. Yet, the have the powers to vote on decisions affecting the education and future of our kids.

It's kinda weird, hating on a 17-year-old so hard.

Nobody is hating on the child. If they could and did elect a 2-year old, would it be hating on that child to say it’s absurd?

Last time I checked, real life experiences begin long before one turns 18.

You’re an idiot. You are weird. Are you 12? It’s past you bedtime.

Honestly the SMOBs seem to bring more accountability to MCPS than other members. I was surprised when we moved out here that they did it, but now I am glad they are on.

Thoughtful?

Great

And DO absolutely nothing.

Just another yes vote for an irresponsible BOE.

Oh please, they know nothing about finances, taxes, property taxes, education, ADHD, special needs, or the legal aspects to anything. They really don’t know everything the is involved in education. They are hiring a company to find a new school superintendent.

They know YouTube and TikTok really well. And Snapchat and the Gram. Those are their life experiences. You are really ignorant and stupid. And a voter. We should all be scared of idiots like you.

Yeah, how would students who spend every day in our schools know anything about education

This is such an uninformed ridiculous rant. Stereotyping these young adults as knowing nothing but “the Gram” and ignoring they do know about topics like education, ADHD, special needs. No they aren’t lawyers but if you think that makes them unqualified or less qualified than Bethany Mandel you are crazy.


Likewise the BOE doesn’t set property tax rates — maybe if you don’t understand how budgeting works for schools you shouldn’t go around calling other people idiots?

Finally it’s not as if a majority of the board is students. They are there to bring a perspective and make a contribution and they do that very well but they can’t make decisions unless a majority of the board agrees.

School board would be worse off without them.

But they can't. So, why mention it?

By the way, here are some things that 17-year-olds (unlike 2-year-olds) can do:

1. hold a real job
2. pay taxes (income taxes, sales taxes)
3. vote in a real election (if they're turning 18 by election day in November)

Are you happier with SMOBs who are 18, instead of 17?

Maybe that is you kids life experience but I can assure you that some of us have kids with more life experience than what you suggest. Further considering the SMOB is a student in the system they clearly know something about education. The also directly understand and have seen how decision are impacting real students. Some of them are already 18 or will be turning 18 soon so soon to be voters.

And how do you know what the know how Special Needs or ADHD. And it was the SMOB that was fighting to ensure that all students took a Personal Finance Class.
