[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still can't believe so many people support Cristina when she clearly launched her campaign on an over-inflated resume, claiming a decade plus experience, when she's barely been out of a high school for a decade.

[b]Then she touted her legislative experience when she just worked on the Hill for a year as a junior staffer.[/b]

And she constantly refers to herself as an "educator" and makes it sound like her job is a big-deal. Think about the 20-something junior consultants in your office: That's her.

This has nothing to do with her being a woman of color. It has to do with her misrepresenting herself. [/quote]

This. This. This. Exactly on point.[/quote]

Correct except the bolded. She wasn’t a junior staffer, she was in fact an intern. [/quote]

You just don't seem to understand how hateful you sound. Also, you read her website and then lied about her educational background. We do not need this type of campaigning in school board elections. I don't allow my children to lie. I encourage you to grow up. [/quote]

The one that exaggerates her experience is Cristina. I’ve read her webpage and LinkedIn. If she would just be honest about her inexperience she could use it to her advantage, but instead she’s pretending to have experience she doesn’t have. Please teach your children to not lie on their resumes, everyone gets caught.[/quote]

Then, why did you lie about her? [/quote]

Please point out the lie? [/quote]

"she is arrogant enough to think that her NYU degree in Economic Theory and History is enough to make her a good HS math teacher." - She has a master's of education in curriculum and instruction. [/quote]

You clearly know nothing about TFA teachers. They go straight into the classroom from undergrad (so for Cristina 2013). While they are teaching they receive a Masters from a local university partnered with TFA to accredit their teachers. So the poster who claimed the above is correct that she did not have a teaching degree, and instead was a teacher through TFA. I do not agree with the TFA model because it puts unqualified teachers (those without education background or training) into classrooms that need the most support, and rotates them out every two years. Cristinas teaching experience is through this model. [/quote]

My point was that the poster was being intentionally deceptive about Cristina's resume and that school board races do not need to be so mean. I'm surprised anyone would disagree. [/quote]

I think there are legitimate questions about the accuracy of Cristina's resume, especially when you compare it with the experience and expertise she claims to have when she speaks in public. [/quote]

Feel that way, but don't advocate for posters who are being deceptive and mean. Debate the merits, right? After all of this, I'm thinking about logging off for good. [/quote]
