aah ok, so you're no ok with a candidate who is beholden to the Dems but you're cool with a candidate who is beholden to APE with its leaders who work for Kock funded orgs, and a policy not to disclose donors. Got it. |

I wish I had the privilege to just pull my kids out of APS and go to private school like Miranda does. Well that sounds bitter. She has 3 kids and 2 are in APS. And the kid in private apparently coming back to APS. You have no idea why one is in private or how they are managing it. Even one of our current SB members has or had kids in private school. Loads of APS families have one kid in private and others in APS. Most common for parents of SWDS. Focus on how to make APS better for all kids rather than worrying about what other families do. |

I have a child with severe special needs and I can't afford to pull them out of APS. Even if I could, I'm not sure a private school would take them. Why didn't she keep her kid in public and focus on making APS better for all kids, as you say? This would include mine. And for that matter, I also find it interesting that she didn't keep her kids in Drew but decamped for Montessori. |

Sandy Munnell ran as a former APS teacher a few years back. She should run again. |

It's interesting how you keep trying to draw a line that doesn't exist from Koch to Miranda Turner. Is that seriously all you have on her? |

Bottom Line: People are going to vote for Erin because she's not Miranda/APE. Even though their platforms are interchangeable. And nobody knows anything about Erin except those at Key. |

Have you already forgotten how terrible virtual learning was? Because it was bad. |

I read the thread on AEM, did you? |

No I didn't forget. I just didn't have her privilege to yank my kid. |

Sandy was not polished when she ran last time and stumbled a lot. But oh I wish she was a candidate now. |

So you're saying you would have if it was an option. |

It's not a good look when you don't send your kids to your high FARMS high minority neighborhood school. Wonder how that will play in the election. |
