No not at all. I simply remember all the years before the kids were in school when we had no idea about all the problems in MCPS. We happily voted the Apple Ballot because we like teachers. Now we know that the Apple ballot has nothing to do with teachers. The Washington post also had an article a few back on how the shady the whole pay to play thing was with the union endorsement. The union spends $$ getting out those apple ballots and locks people out.

MCCPTA even though its supposed to not be political will have individuals (who are friends) of the members running lean on others to get support for MCCPTA candidates. Being at the top of MCCPTA means that you go along with MCPS to get access to MCPS staff. With the exception of Paul Geller who seems to be somewhat of a well meaning nut the former MCCPTA members on the board and running do not stand up to MCPS. Smondronski is the only one who has disagreed with 2.0 and bussing but she has never been strong enough to speak forcefully enough against the others. She is sort of the Susan Collins of the BOE.

This time around there seems to more information out there and with the bussing/rezoning there is an issue where candidates need to take a stand. If you want bussing and more 2.0 like disasters then by all means go for re-electing Shebra Evans and vote in Lynne Harris.

PP, if you're picking candidates based on their stance on busing, then you might as well be picking candidates based on their stance on the Blair Witch. There is no proposal for busing. It's a bogeyman designed to scare people.  And it's working.

Also, when I vote in elections I haven't educated myself about, I blame myself, not others.[/quote]
