Amen. A very good summary. |
I still don't buy your argument. FCPS's overblown reputation is the sole reason people choose to live here and not in Prince William county. I think my coworkers (who are from other states) are crazy for being obsessed with FCPS and desperately spending their life savings to get into specific neighborhoods. But they come here from middle of nowhere so I assume they think 'bad' schools here are like bad schools from rural nowhere states. |
People don’t buy in Prince William County if they don’t have to because they don’t want to spend their lives stuck in traffic on 95 or 66 coming from Woodbridge or Haymarket. |
Actually, I was too busy watching Mrs. Meren rolling around on her chair; talking to and disrupting other SB members; and writing notes and sending them around the table (as did others) during the entire two minutes Mrs. Langton was addressing the board. If, in plain view, School Board members project such disdain to the message members of the community are trying to convey, one can only imagine the disregard that goes on behind closed doors to other concerns parents from FCPS have. No wonder Mrs. Langton keeps returning and submitting herself to the indifference of the School Board and to the disrespect of others who —like some of the posters here— believe their points of view are the only valid ones and everyone else who disagrees ought to be degraded, laughed at, or booed— as others in the audience were allowed to do that night. Let’s hope the new superintendent sets the tone (or encourages the SB Chair to) for behavior expected of the board during School Board meetings. Unless there is a fire in the building, no note passing, no chatting, nor rolling around chairs should be happening when community members they represent are expressing their concerns, including those they disagree with. |
We know why Mrs. Langton keep returning— she wants to be in the media. Her appearance on a Youngkin ad whet her appetite and she wants more. I saw her quoted in a Post article and on a good Morning America segment, so she seems to be getting what she wants with her abusive speeches.

+1 But oh, she's being cancelled! She's being ignored! |
So why are you giving her more publicity on this forum, unless of course she's a convenient foil to deflect attention from the failures of the current Superintendent and School Board? |
DP: OP brought it up--PP is just offering a different view on her. |
I don't see OP bringing it up. OP asked if anyone knew who was among the finalists being interviewed to succeed Brabrand. You want to divert attention by attacking Stacy Langton, about whom many things could be said, but one of which most assuredly is not that she's on the inside track to being named the next Superintendent. |
Does this crazy lady even have children in the school system anymore? Isn't her kid that she wouldn't let read a scary book in his 30s and working for a PAC right now? |
Previous posters brought her up — one by name - and I responded. I did not initiate the mention of her or use her as a “convenient foil.” Such delusions. |
Right. No doubt your motives are pure, even if your focus is bewildering. |

That is definitley a possibility. |
Is that a good or bad thing? I think she used to be at Franconia elem. |
