[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems only voucher enthusiastics are vocal on this debate.

I, as a FCPS parent, do not support vouchers. They are not going to solve problems in public education.  If you don't like the politics (DEI, empathy, religious neutral) of FCPS, then spend your own money to find the school you like.  I support your right to choose but not your right to take the money out. [/quote]

But those supporting vouchers are putting money in as well, often a good bit more money than others with kids in FCPS.

When a supposed public good no longer really functions as a public good, but instead as a sandbox for those with a particular agenda, it’s no surprise that people want to abandon the charade.

I’d feel differently if FCPS was well run, but the incompetence gets worse every year while the politicization of FCPS only increases.  FCPS has become the NPR of public school systems. [/quote]

First, I do not consider "NPR" as a derogatory term.   Second, I don't know what you are talking about.  How can you say with a straight face that FCPS "no longer really functions as a public good".

We live in different realities.  [/quote]

You’re clinging to a rose-colored view of institutions like NPR and FCPS.  NPR overstepped by becoming a mouthpiece for far-left ideologues, and consequently is being defunded with considerable public support. FCPS is headed down the same path, and vouchers would essentially redistribute educational resources into the hands of parents rather than entrust them to ideologues who have lost the plot and no longer know how to manage a large school system properly.

Maybe FCPS can avoid the same fate, but if its leadership remains in the hands of people like Michelle Reid, Karl Frisch, Robyn Lady, and Sandy Anderson that seems increasingly unlikely. [/quote]

Yeah, sorry, with 10s of 1000s federal workers laid off, I don't see your agenda for FCPS and VA passed by voters in this generation.  [/quote]
