[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an Old Town resident and lover of our vibrant city of Alexandria, I am so heartbroken by our public school system. We love and support our schools but wow it's like our school board refuses to make anything better and we all suffer as a result. Staying isn't safe and kids are segregated in our upper schools. Only the blind dispute this. It's just frustrating to know we need to move from this otherwise amazing place.

I'm sure there will be plenty of posters chiming in, finding ways to make fun of this and pick me apart. But, I think many others actually living and witnessing this know it's very much real.[/quote]

Vote Democrat and prioritize issues that are not education and this is what you (Alexandria) gets.

It has only become worse as wannabe politicos perceive school board as a stepping stone to higher office and play to national culture wars, rather than serve the community.[/quote]

This is exactly the problem. I think these people care about education, but  don’t really care about the details necessary for a great school system.  They virtue signal, play to the lowest common denominator, congratulate themselves over bad decisions, and things just get worse over time.

Families who can afford it, flee the system. [/quote]

Well they don’t actually care about education, judging by what issues are talked about the most, including various “education” lobbies.[/quote]
