[quote=Anonymous]I am a current Escuela Key parent. I would not vote for Erin. Or rather every parent is named Erin there, so we call her Erin FS.

Erin FS did not keep our community together during the pandemic. It was the previous president who not only got us through the bogus move, but then the pandemic happened and it was A's leadership that kept us together. Erin paled compared to her. A lot of us who remember her still miss her. Her kid is now in middle school. Honestly, she should be the person running for the SB.

During Erin FS's reign, she micromanaged the entire school. It's like I had to get her permission to speak to Sra Perdomo. I wasn't even on the PTA, and I laughed and laughed. I was friendly with a few people on the Executive Committee and they all hated her too. One even left for private school. She had other reasons to leave, but I distinctly remember her saying that she never wanted to deal with Erin FS again.

She is rude AF too if she doesn't like you.

Honestly, I don't like any candidate who has filed. What a terrible lot. Who is that 22 year old again because he might have my vote. Go Gen Z!

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Jeff/Admin: Can you explain why posts in this thread keep getting deleted if they mention APE?[/quote]

There is a post directly above yours that mentions APE that did not get deleted. Posts are getting deleted for that reason. They are getting deleted for making false statements.[/quote]

This group, which a SB candidate led for years, was an open schools group in Arlington. They were abusive online and in school board meetings. Some of their most aggressive, vocal members were anti-maskers, anti-CRT, pro-voucher. They were aligned with open schools groups out in FCPS and LCPS. Including Ian Prior, PDE (Koch bro), etc. [/quote]

This is really really really offensive. To say APE - which has an EXTREMELY public website and biweekly newsletter - is anti-CRT or pro-voucher or supported by Koch brothers or Ian Prior is complete lies. You shouldn't be allowed to defame like this on a public website. Show us ANY proof of anti-CRT or pro-voucher or supported by Koch or aligned with Ian Prior. Literally anything.

Here's an idea - some people thought kids should be in school sooner than you did, apparently. That doesn't make them bigots.

DP. Not an APE member and don't know who the members are. I agree with PP. However, while APE's work may be "extremely public," I don't understand why they are so anonymous.  Those opinion pieces on various topics supposedly written by concerned parents or teachers are NEVER SIGNED. I can understand MAYBE a teacher being hesitant to have their name associated with a criticism of APS due to job concerns. But there is no reason for a parent to not sign their name to their own opinion piece.  This just casts an air of secrecy and doubt: are these really pieces written by different concerned teachers and parents, or are they written by the same one or few members?  APE proclaims its transparency - then OWN it and sign your names![/quote]

Regarding anonymous opinion pieces. I have not contributed to the newsletter but here are some reasons I would only do so on an anonymous basis: 1) look at this thread and the delusional APE trolls who want to tear them apart and spread lies - I don't need that in my life, 2) I have a serious career I've worked very hard for and do not need opinion pieces re my kids' school experience showing in a google search, 3) I respect my kids' privacy and wouldn't feel comfortable sharing their difficulties so publicly.
