[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, his entire career since HS has been as a political operative of some sort, so I would guess that he has more knowledge and connections into fundraising than many of the other candidates.   This is also why I don't really trust him.   He is not in it for the kids (especially since he does not have any of his own) but for himself.    [/quote]

You are totally out of line.  I didn't have kids until I was 42 but I was fully invested in my community and fully committed to public education (even taught for 7 years before burning out) so I cared deeply about the school system long before I had kids.  You don't have to spawn to care about good schools.  In fact, since he isn't distracted by child rearing, he has more time to devote to the work.

Every time I see people commenting on Frisch not having kids, it reads to me like an anti-gay dog whistle.

FWIW, my understanding is that his husband is a teacher.  So that gives him even more skin in the game than a parent, and more quality knowledge from the reality inside a school and the system at large.  I'd take that as a personal family qualification more than being the random parent of a 5th grader.[/quote]
You definitely don’t have kids, nor the maturity of a 49+ years old. Parents don’t see the privilege and blessing of having children as spawning. Anyone who regards raising children as a distraction should not be entrusted with any serious work, let alone anything related to school policy.

My brother and his wife don’t have children. I take into consideration their advice on issues other than the rearing of my kids.

We are aware Frisch’s husband is a teacher. During the lockdown he reminded us of that every time he advocated for remote learning and voted to keep our schools closed to protect teachers like his husband. Our children had “more skin” than his husband, and actually the right to in-person learning. He could have taken leave if he was so concerned about his health.  In fact, his “inside knowledge” hasn’t done him any favors because he seems clueless as to the pressing need to recover from the learning loss. [/quote]
