[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went and listened to the remarks after reading this.  I thought Priddy and Diaz Toro sounded awful.  They were super scathing towards Mary but actually didn't give any specifics.  They also have a pretty specific interpretation of school board policy that appears to be don't criticize anything at APS publicly and don't listen to individuals or advocate for them.  I don't necessarily think there is anything more to it- Mary is not one of them, she is not a ACDC insider, and she passionately cares about the school system.
I agree Bethany has been a disappointment.  I had high hopes for her after working with her a little bit on ACI- but she largely seems like a non-entity.[/quote]

All of you talk about you know how a School Board is run. From our sofas, it must be nice to give all of this judgement. I imagine that being a school board member must be the worst job ever. You have to be the expert at the system and all of its roles, engage with the community and attend required meetings weekly, sometimes several back to back. Not to mention being paid pennies while trying to hold down a day job. I don't think any of them at the moment are retired.

I don't think David or Cristina were great representatives to the public, but I'm not going to judge them on what they did for APS. Bethany either. Any time I engaged with her, she seemed very forthcoming and honest about what she could and could not do.

Monday wasn't their finest hour. I just hope that Mary and the rest can move on from it. We should too.
