[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all have no idea what the actual issues in SF were. I knew this site was going to be full of terrible takes on this today.[/quote]

What’s your take?[/quote]

For one thing, they overshot their budget by $100M.

This isn’t about masks.[/quote]
1. They eliminated neighborhood schools so that any kid could basically get assigned to any school, anywhere in the city at random.

2. They changed names of schools for bizarre reasons, making the city a national joke.

3. They changed entry for the vaunted Lincoln HS from merit-based to lottery.

And there’s more. Just totally out of touch and incompetent. [/quote]
Also they removed one of the now-recalled commissioners as VP of the board for her racist tweets, then she turned around and sued the school district for $87M. And another of the now-recalled commissioners stood by her.

These are not issues which you can extrapolate all over the country, people.[/quote]
School boundaries and lotteries for enrichment programs are very much a salient issue in Montgomery County.  [/quote]

There is an enormous difference between boundary reviews (which are never popular) and just eliminating boundaries [/quote]
