[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw that article but I don't agree with it.  I am still mad about schools in FCPS offering no in person option for one year.  I did vote for McA but I am still mad about it.  I am definitely not voting for any school board incumbents in 2023.[/quote]

Me again. I like this op-Ed better and it also echoes what I’ve been saying for years about how we as a society are expecting schools to solve all the problems of poverty.

Why Are We Letting Republicans Win the School Wars?

I agree with these authors that this was the correct stat to look at:

“ A recent focus group conducted by a Democratic polling firm showed that education was the top issue cited by Joe Biden supporters who had voted or considered voting for Mr. Youngkin. Participants referred to an array of complaints about education, including a sense that the focus on race and social justice in Virginia’s schools had gone too far, eclipsing core academic subjects. Similar charges echoed through the San Francisco school board election last month as Asian American voters, furious over changes to the admissions process at a highly selective high school, galvanized a movement to oust three school board members.”
