[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like three posts in a row were written by Frisch or an FCDC insider.  Not surprised, but they also fail to acknowledge how bad many of Frisch's decisions have been (for example, Blake Lane/Dunn Loring) and how he's widely disliked because he comes across as so blatantly self-centered.

If he's in the "mainstream," it's only because the School Board has drifted so far left into crazy land that posturing and poor decision-making became accepted as the norm.  [/quote]

This was me, and I’m not an FCDC member.  And you’re right, I’m not in Frisch’s district.  I’m a teacher and parent and found him responsive the times I wrote to him…in substantive ways where he actually took action about something.  I am not familiar with the Blake Lane/Dunn Loring issue but I have watched at least every other SB meeting since COVID, as well as a few work sessions, and he has appeared well prepared and reasonable.

Totally legit to disagree with his stances on the dog park or whatever, but these repeated posts calling him an idiot and imbecile made no sense to me.  I could name several others on the SB who I’d rank higher on the dimwit scale, which I know is faint praise.  It just gets my spidey sense tingling to see all of these very personal nasty comments rather than the criticisms of substance, which it seems the Blake/Dunn Loring thing is.[/quote]

Well you just fully admitted you nothing about the key issue that most parents that live in his district are upset with him about, so you have lost all credibility.

I'm going to guess that you contacted him early in the pandemic to ask that schools remain close and then later on to ask that it stay virtual. See, I contacted him in summer 2020 to ask that they open schools under the hybrid program that they promised and he completely talked over me and mansplained and tried to convince me I was wrong. I tried again in the winter to beg them to open up schools, and he did the exact same thing. Then he stopped doing office hours. Can't stand him.[/quote]

100%.  If I were to guess, I would say this is the major issue parents here have with him (just mention “dog park” and people’s blood pressure goes up, even those with dogs who use the park). And number 2, which you so clearly point out, is his utter lack of responsiveness. Everyone has a story of how he ignores their emails. #3 would be the lack of concern (or even awareness?) of how the Covid shutdowns impacted out kids — made all the worse by the fact that the overcrowding at Mosaic Elementary — which he refused to fix because = dog park — resulted in it being one of the schools that was too crowded to do five full days in spring 2021. And he never answered emails about that, either.

But you know what I did get from him, in the height of school shutdowns? A mailer about a virtual birthday party for his partner/fundraiser.  Parents all barely holding it together by a thread, and here’s an invite for a fundraiser/virtual comedy show for him and his friends. I will never, ever forget that. It was the nail in the coffin for me, and at least a few other moms.  Talk about being out-of-touch and unable to read the room…
