VA Teachers: which gubernatorial candidate would be better for education (single policy opinion)

[Anonymous]

Doesn’t matter whether you’ll ultimately support the other candidate in the election. Just wondering wondering what your thoughts are on where candidate stands on education.

I think McAuliffe would be better on education. He has a detailed, fact-based plan for improving public education in Virginia.

Youngkin had a slogan with no substance.

Youngkin can't talk about education without lying so probably not him.

DP. He keeps race-baiting by talking about CRT being taught in public schools, which simply is not happening.

I am very concerned that Youngkin seems to support censorship in schools, so I think McAuliffe is better.

I agree Youngkin’s plan is very thin and McAuliffe is more thought out , but Youngkin isn’t wrong on slamming McAuiffe on his statement about parents. I do worry that McAuliff’s plan to “Address modern-day segregation in schools and create an Education Equity and Innovation Commission, Fund, and a school integration officer,” is code for minority students are too stupid to learn, so we’ll water the standards down. It is disingenuous and insulting to everyone when this crap is pulled. I want all kids to succeed. I don’t think tests tell the whole story of a child’s intelligence, so I’d like to see more opportunities given to kids with potential make the cut. However, I don’t think it’s right to move kids up if they haven't demonstrated mastery of a subject. I’d to see more individualized student plans rather than more one-size fits all plans. Help kids develop their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. -OP

We differ in our views of that statement. Parents shouldn’t be telling schools what they should teach. How would that even work? That’s up to the Department of Ed.

Okay, so this thread was just you wanting another opportunity to rant about RWNJ taking points.

And “advanced math”.

Go read his page on education. Filled with empty campaign phrases and lies.

He’s spineless and will say anything he needs to say right now to get elected. Please refer to what he said to snag the nomination and what he said about abortion.

You don’t sound very open to considering how teachers view the two candidates. It sounds like you’ve made up your mind already.

+1. We don’t need book banning in VA.

Plus he’s spreading all the right wing CRT lies.

I’m interested in hearing what teachers think. They have a different perspective. I grew up in a multi-generation immigrant household and everyone was expected to fall in line behind the Ds without fail. My grandparents were very involved politically at the local level. I don’t blindly follow anyone. I will likely vote 3rd party.
