[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a student with a reading disability, I would be thrilled to have a school board member who has experienced that journey in APS and bring personal perspective to the issue. Symone has my vote.   I’m also just generally glad to see the field has expanded beyond Cristina.  She may have a promising future in politics and with the Democratic Party, but I’m very turned off by the fact that she doesn’t have kids in the system or a background of teaching in the system.  Has she ever had to cry through an IEP meeting?  Has she ever had to decide whether to move her child to a different school because of bullying or bad teaching?  Until you’ve had to grapple with problems at your own child’s APS school, or had a career within APS, you’re not qualified to be making decisions about our schools on our behalf.  I’m a democrat and I generally vote along party lines, but I think it was a blunder for the democrats to assume we wouldn’t notice that their proposed candidate lacks the basic life experience we should all require of our school board members.[/quote]
