Clearly you are not a parent at Haycock if you think Ms. Strauss has done a good job advocating for that school over the last 10 years.

I don't think she's done a good job on Haycock overall.  I think she's done a good job generally as the Dranesville representative, and is doing a good job right now where Haycock is concerned.

I felt like Louise Epstein, had she been elected to replace Janie, would have advocated only for the AAP community.  Maybe that's what some of you want.  Nobody else matters to you.

I give Dranesville voters lots of credit on this one.  Looks to me like Janie Strauss hasn't been perfect, but then again what is a perfect representative, anyway?  Louise Epstein has re-surfaced on this AAP issue in typical fashion.  I've seen her at the meetings.  Notice she's not suggesting any actual solutions, but is very quick to criticize everything and anything about FCPS.  Her brand of advocacy is us-vs.-them, very divisive, interest-group-driven stuff.  She wants anybody who's ever had a complaint with FCPS to vote for her.  Sorry, Louise, but it seems like the grown-ups in Dranesville actually understand that nobody ever gets EVERYTHING they want, and are generally pretty happy with FCPS despite their occasional (vocal) complaints.  And they like advocacy, but not advocacy that will throw everybody else (Title 1 kids, gen. ed. kids) under the bus.[/quote]
