[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the race will be close, and I am an independent swing voter. McAuliffe gave away the prior election when he told parents that their kids schooling was not something parents should care about. [/quote]

Liar. That’s not what he said.

He said that “parents should not tell teachers how to teach”. There is some truth to this statement, but it is politically stupid to say. I would also be pissed as a parent if a teacher was not considering my feedback as it relates to my childrens education in the classroom. [/quote]
Yes, it was politically stupid, but he wasn't necessarily wrong. I know so many teachers who have left teaching because they couldn't deal with crazy-involved-entitled parents anymore and felt like their school admins weren't supporting them. [/quote]

It was wrong and voters overwhelmingly understood it was wrong.

No one has any legitimacy if they tell parents that parents should not be involved with their own Children's education.  We need more engaged parents not fewer. [/quote]

Involved, but not crazy. Parents ranking books out of schools b/c their precious Johnny might see something. My mom was a teacher and parents are ridiculous and many times have no idea what they are talking about.[/quote]
