[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always vote and have voted in past SB caucuses, so I assume I'm on voter lists that candidates can buy. So far I've gotten 1 letter each from Priddy & Krieger and 2 letters from Sims. Nothing from any other candidate.

Consider yourself lucky. I've received countless emails and now texts from Krieger, even though I unsubscribed to his communications multiple times. I can forgive getting a little bit of junk/spam mail from a candidate, but Krieger's campaign just won't quit!  :evil: [/quote]

Oh I've gotten emails & texts from Krieger. I was just talking about mail. Kind of surprised I haven't recieved anything from Cristina.[/quote]

I received a call from one of her volunteers about her being endorsed by the AEA but had already voted for her at that point. Ditto about Terron's letter, but I do like him and David. [/quote]

I really liked the Q&A on the ArlDems website, especially responses by Sandy and Sims. I also like that they both cut to the chase in a lot of the questionnaires that have been published by different groups. In at least one that I saw, Sandy just responded with a "yes" -- and it was totally appropriate given that it was a yes or no question. Some of the candidates just go on for way too long. [/quote]

I didn't know there was a Q&A. Thanks for the info! Terron's responses were better than his performance during the ACDC debate, but he is fooling himself to think that he is going to scale a private school model to all of APS. I'm not sure what Sandy was thinking when she said that she doesn't need to have vision to lead APS. Why say that, especially when we need new ideas to get through the next year? I liked Steven's and Cristina's responses. I'm not a fan of David. [/quote]

Did Sandy really say that? Is the Q&A on facebook ACDC website? [/quote]

Link? [/quote]

I'm not sure that Sandy intended to say that vision doesn't matter, but she's certainly lost my vote if she doesn't recognize that what worked before doesn't work now. [/quote]

I read Sandy's response more as "look, lots of SB members have big ideas (vision), but I, as an educator and someone with real classroom experience, know what will really work. It's one thing to have big ideas, but they're not very helpful if they aren't feasible." But maybe I'm reading too much into the response. Maybe I'm just overtired. [/quote]
