I plan to vote for Moon and Davis, both sensible moderates. McElveen and McDaniel are hard no’s for me. Of the remaining at-large candidates, who is the best choice and why? |

Peter Gabor (Great Teacher!) : https://petergabor.org/ Full time HS teacher with FCPS since 2010, teaching Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics Certificated in Math, Computer Science, Physics Baccalaureate degrees from MIT in Electrical Engineering, Math, Computer Science Masters degrees (EECS) and doctorate (CS) from Princeton Also taught in NJ (Princeton HS), WA (Interlake HS), OR (St. Mary's Academy) |
Have you met him? What does he mean by this: “ I believe FCPS should follow the rule of law, adhering to Federal, State, and Local statutes. I don't see how we can lead by example absent this.” He has a doctorate in CS but his website looks like poo. Weird. |
MY DC had him for Linear Algebra and one post AP CS class at TJ few years back and he seemed reasonable and level-headed. Very intelligent but not arrogant. Did not seem political at all. I think he would be like rational scientist in his approach to educational policies w/o being swayed by biases or emotions. I would vote for him but I usually do not vote in local elections. |
Actual CS has nothing to do with building websites. That is a trade more like plumbing. |
Having a teacher on the school board is a good idea. |
Have met Mr. Gabor during btsn. To his testament here was my child’s comment. “I am fortunate to learn from Mr. Gabor before he retires”. Good teacher and one of the best to learn from. Good for a person like him for academics. I would not worry about a new website created or need for it to be fancy |
Of course, they have people running for school board who even started that nutty group C4TJ. |
LWNJs are out today. |
I assumed he would have picked up some tech skills along the way. Guess he was purely theoretical. |
Who is running that started C4TJ? |
Everything sounded great but this one point was really out of place. Weird. |
only nutcases go around blaming a group nutty. Ouch! |
