[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That is really what the tampon PP is arguing. Pointing to pads/tampons, however, is a red herring. Your point is that this whole debacle wouldn't have happened if the school board wasn't distracted by social justice and social equity issues. I disagree with your position. I think the blame lays with the FCPS IT dept, the Chief Operating Officer, and Blackboard.... people who weren't involved in the social issues you despise.

The school board wasn't really responsible for making the technical parts of distance learning work. So whatever the school board was doing, it was negligible in terms of the technical failure.

However, they are responsible for oversight.  They have neglected it.  I wonder how much they understand about the Blackboard contract?  The contract for all the computers given to students?  I'm betting, not much.

This is where our money goes.  Far more money than is spent on tampons.  It deserved far more attention.  It may be complex, and difficult to understand the technology--but their job is to watch it.  It's a lot easier to talk about tampons and appear altruistic than it is to get into the contract weeds.  And, that is what they should be watching.

Just look at the funds we spend on IT.  And, that affects the education of EVERY student in Fairfax--rich or poor.[/quote]

The board isn't supposed to be IT experts!  They are supposed to hire people who are experts to do the job or provide the product.  The buck stops with the people who are supposed to be IT experts.  [/quote]

No, the buck stops with the Superintendent and the School Board, who are supposed to make sure the right people are in place.

The focus on school name changes, transgender bathrooms, menstrual equity, and county-wide busing in the name of “equity” came at the expense of paying attention to the basics. And now we are paying the price for having put the wrong people in positions of responsibility. [/quote]
