[quote=Anonymous]PP re: Kreiger's young kids and sorry if that came across as hateful. Not my intent. I think everyone should vote and all perspectives have value.

But what bothers me is he feels like having super young kids makes him uniquely qualified. He uses that in his ads as a selling point. It's a terrible argument.

He has the perspective of how how one APS school works at one level. And it's a choice school, too, which makes his experiences even less representative.

Having older kids who have gone through the system and are still in multiple levels, I have a different perspective now than when I was a 1-school APS parent. All the schools work very differently. And middle school and high school are very different from elementary school. School Board oversees all three levels. So, it's not an advantage to lack those other perspectives, and certainly not a selling point.

Plus, he seems to imply that he is more invested because his kids will be in the system longer. I also find that offensive. School Board is a 4-yr term.

I just find the argument to be a really terrible one, short-sighted and arrogant.[/quote]
