[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't fight City Hall. She fought longer and harder than most, and even got elected. There just aren't enough people like her who are willing to throw themselves into the fray. Too bad.[/quote] +1. She impressed me as the one Board member that didn't simply parrot the company line and thoughtfully evaluated each matter in front of her. I used to actually attend a few school board meetings and in the end I realized that you can't fight City Hall ...at least not while working full-time, trying to raise your kids, and hope change will actually happen in time to impact your kids. I'm not writing off MCPS as a whole because there are a lot of great principals and teachers. Yet, I also understand why parents would rather move their kids than fight the good fight and how dealing with the bureaucracy can influence you to be less public service minded.[/quote]
