this makes no sense The fact you have no actual rebuttal suggests otherwise. It looks like complete gibberish and isn't really wroth reading. If you didn't read it, you don't know if it makes sense or not. Well, I agree the Apple Ballot is vastly better than the random right-wing nutjobs who run and post here. |

Do you disagree that teachers often stay in their jobs despite being unhappy to get pensions? If you do disagree with that, I'm gonna go ahead and surmise that that we just live in different universes. Do you disagree that MCEA demands salary increases above anything else? Have you not seen the numerous posts on DCUM reminding people that MCEA advocates for teachers, not students, and that's why problems with the curriculum that teachers hate is not MCEA's fault (remember, it's not their problem, even though it makes them hate their jobs). |

Wasn’t she also the only Board member who stood up against the extra half days and 7 vacation days for school administrators? Parents need to vote against Apple candidates because the union has too much power over them. The Board should work independently and not be controlled by union lobbyists. Education in MCPS is in the toilet because of the union priorities. |

I find that she and Smondrowski are the only sensible ones on that board. |

I thought she was the one who went against the board, then caved? No? At least that's what seems to have occurred according to the transcript of the session reported by the Parents Coalition? If she had actually stood against Wolfe I would have had some respect but when you fold like a cheap suit, I really don't. If the moderate members can't influence the radical ones, all the board members need to go at this point. |

No, Smondrowski and Silvestre initially objected to the calendar changes, but then relented and ultimately voted yes. Harris voted no. |

| They are all sheep who go along with whatever Starr, Smith and now McKnight want. None do their actual job of oversight |

Perhaps for Smith and McKnight, but you may recall that they essentially fired Starr. I think he would have done a much better job through covid tbh. |

That's one way of describing things but most people feel they're making the right decisions; otherwise, they wouldn't vote for them by a landslide. These silly arguments by the right just don't hold up with the facts. |

| I don't agree with their decisions and I'm quite left of center. I won't vote for them the next time around. Well, most of them, anyway. |

She reminds me of someone that drank and partied a little too hard in her day. She is also just sock puppeted by the squeaky wheels. The thing about people who sit on the BOE of any district, they aren’t required to have any knowledge or training in education yet they are essentially the “boss” of the superintendent. The ideas and reasoning of having a BOE is antiquated and needs to be re-evaluated. |

That's you're opinion - i'm fed up with the current members. I won't be voting for any of the incumbents this time around. Even if there is no alternate candidate I'm writing in Steve Austin, if nothing else as a protest vote to irk whomever is voting for these nutcases. |

No! it's not my opinion but a fact. They are re-elected by a landslide. |
