and this one . . . 
PTA experience

wow - quite the impressive list of candidates

endorsed by the PC, I assume?

PP - you are a moron.

[quote=Anonymous]If you want change, look into these candidates

1.  Morris Panner (At large)
2.  Annita Seckinger (4th district)
3.  Rebecca Smondrowski (2nd district)

If you like C2.0 and the status quo in MCPS, then vote Apple Ballot/Union/MCEA candidates:
1. Phil Kaufman (At large)
2. Chris Barclay (4th district)
3. Fred Evans  (2nd district)

I am going for something new.  [/quote][/quote]

PP here and thanks for making my point.  The person calling me a moron above clearly supports Apple Ballot/MCEA/Teachers Union.  Don't get me wrong, these MCEA folks are stakeholders and deserve a seat at the table.  However, do you want every member of the board to be tied to the Union?  Does the person above sound like they care and support diverse parent views on education?    Does this person sound like they will smile, nod and give parents vague answers about C2.0, then close the door and mutter about how all parents are idiots trying to get their little kids into Harvard?   Anyway, that's the vibe I get from the current board and from J Starr.  Finally, when the union sits down to vote on budget priorities, would you like at least one non-union person in the room to raise some honest objections or are you comfortable that a Union BOE can fairly negotiate with Union leadership?

So yes, I would absolutely vote for someone who is not part of the current professional education class.   This system needs more diversity of thinking.  This system needs someone who can represent and advocate for parents/taxpayers.  If you are against that stuff, then fine.  This is just my humble view.

Signed,

Moron
