[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what's the solution besides venting on this forum? I'm not being snarky. What can be done? [/quote]

A new school board. Unfortunately that is practically impossible at this point. The school board is political and they are all democrats. The school board would do better if it were a mix or independent. We live in an area where almost everyone votes democrat. (I’ve been guilty of doing that as well - not again.) So even people who don’t have kids or don’t care about the school board at all will go and vote and just vote for the democrats on the ballot.  A lot of the school board members don’t really care about the school system - they are using it to further their political career. And that means they care less about education and more about social issues.

And so all we can really do is vent on forums like this. [/quote]
see I asked the question. I am a Democrat and I believe in education. The idea that Republicans prioritize education is pretty ridiculous.   [b]To me social justice does not equal having mediocre expectations of students.[/b]  [/quote]

But that is what happens.

Look at DC public schools. Look at what happened to Montgomery County PS. Look at what is currently happening to Howard County public schools - they aren't too far behind us on tearing down their public schools in the name of social justice.

Democrats undoubtedly do better with handling education but there seems to be a tipping point when a school system or area goes too far to the liberal side.  [/quote]

Aren't mostly Democratic states like Massachusetts and NJ also better in terms of education?[/quote]
