[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s her qualifications?[/quote]

She has never been an educator and has no degrees in education.  She is a consultant who makes money off of schools.  She wants more testing because she’s all about “data.”  She lives in Minnesota.  She is a charter school advocate.

Arid Qarni was horrible!  But Youngkin made a really badly pick.[/quote]

She has degrees in public policy and government, and has worked in the education field for decades, but I guess you can pretend she’d be far more qualified to lead a state-wide department if she had a degree in elementary education from Longwood. And she sent her own kids to FCPS before moving to Minnesota.

You people are so partisan and afraid that anyone will ever challenge people to do things differently or better. The fact that you’re attacking her so viciously before she even takes office is precisely why others welcome her appointment. [/quote]

+1.  And it’s a public policy management position not a teaching position [/quote]

She's beyond qualified for this position and I wish her well.[/quote][/b]

+100.  There's so many idiots on this thread who have no idea what they are talking about.  It's all liberal screed with no basic understanding of facts.  Most here don't even know the difference between vouchers and charter schools.  They just spew hate from the left.  Maybe time to leave DCUM[/quote]

Most on the right assume that vouchers offer school choice without realizing that they cover a fraction of the tuition at any existing school. [/quote]

On the contrary - it's people on the left who keep insisting vouchers will go to paying private school tuitions.  Such BS.  The *only* voucher proposed by Youngkin is a $500/student Covid-learning loss voucher.  That's it.  The fear-mongering by the left is off-the-charts.  Youngkin has proposed CHARTER SCHOOLS, which will be lottery-based.  These are not vouchers.  Learn the difference.[/quote]
…a lottery for charter schools who do not actually have to educate the students they don’t want to educate. Look at schools like KIIP who kick students out that violate their very strict rules. Why do you pro-charter people want charters? Where are charters working outside of already failing urban districts? We need a re-vamp of our state tests and our teacher pay, not charter schools. 
Signed, Not a leftist fear mongerer who happens to be a Republican but thinks this Sec Ed choice is shitty (but not as shitty as the current one)[/quote]
