[quote=Anonymous][quote]Hynes and Strauss both had or have direct teaching experience and/or education degrees. Are you suggesting the School Board and FCPS administration need more professional managers, and fewer people with education backgrounds? What in Schultz's background or tenure on the School Board suggests she really understands education policy? [/quote]

Hynes and Strauss show little interest in education and give lip service more than concrete suggestions.  Platitudes.

Granted, Schultz spends too much time challenging the others--but, she does speak for many in Fairfax County who do not have a voice on the ultra liberal school board.  She tried to broker a compromise on Stuart naming once she realized the name was going to change.  I wonder if someone else had worked on this, if her suggestion would have passed.  Clearly, some on the board were determined that only an African American should be the namesake.  Karen Keys-Gamarra was still lobbying for Justice Thurgood Marshall and screwed up her proposal because she(a lawyer) did not understand the motion.

Schultz also gets into the meat of programs and asks astute questions regarding finances and other issues.  Yes, she has conservative social values, but she also watches out for good stewardship of funds.
