[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for people to consider. Look how FCPS board boosters treat parents upset by early release:

And you think those same parents should turn out to vote down vouchers?[/quote]

What exactly does that thread have to do with vouchers?

You base your vote (to defund public schools) on anonymous comments on a mommy website?

“Everybody else” makes you do terrible things, huh?

I will base my vote on how the Public School treats my family. Lying and disrespect will not get my support. It’s not terrible to opt out of an abusive system.[/quote]

The question was what does that thread have to do with vouchers? 
[/quote]

It’s an example of something that has nothing to do with the issue of the week (the boundary study) where FCPS is alienating the parent body. The same parents they will be begging to vote against vouchers.[/quote]

No, the PP was concerned about she was being treated by anonymous DCUM posters, not FCPS.

Again, what do the posts on that thread have to do with vouchers?

Read the thread. See how parents are treated when they disagree with the school board decisions. The thread includes lots of examples of how Reid waited until the last five minutes of a meeting so no one could object, made misleading statements in her email about the dates, etc.

Now tell me these parents should feel like they’re valued by FCPS and should vote away their only ability to make changes.[/quote]

Why do you think this board is FCPS?
Why do you think that your desire to get rid of the public schooling system because you are mad wouldn’t be met with derision from people who use the public service?
You are proposing to tear down a public good because you are mad.  People are disagreeing with you and all you can say is ‘You aren’t treating me right?”  Keep in mind this is a mommy board, not a school board. [/quote]

1. I don’t, this is a discussion of why parents, including liberal parents who would prefer public school, are becoming alienated from that school. 
2. Meeting people with derision doesn’t get them to vote for what you want.
3. It’s certainly not “all I can say” but no one seems to have an answer for “why won’t FCPS start respecting the needs of working parents”. If you have an answer to that please share it. [/quote]
