[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I’m a democrat but I’m not surprised by Youngkin’s win. The school closures in 2020-2021 created a new unique alliance between parents on the far right and parents that just wanted schools open.

While I voted D, I’m also not willing to kowtow the party line when it’s not right, and I thought in August 2020 schools should have opened hybrid and I was vocal about it. And I told the school board as much and they didn’t care - haha. I hope everyone remembers in 2023 when they are up for re-election.[/quote]

Its a shame because the people who just wanted schools open don't yet know what they signed away in exchange.  Yay schools will be open but also masks will be banned and we'll have no ability to keep kids safe if/when there is another dangerous variant.

Schools will be open but now half the english curriculum has been banned by the crazys.  Good luck to your kid on the AP exam.

Schools will be open but VA's public school reputation will plummet - good luck on college applications.

Schools will be open but unable to hire qualified teachers and teachers continue to leave the profession in droves rather than continue to be screamed at by newly empowered parents.  - Enjoy your 35+ student class sizes and inexperienced barely certified teachers.

People wanted schools open but did not accept that there are consequences and it isn't possible to just magically return to 2019.  Now everyone gets to pay the price. [/quote]

DP.  Wow - such a great example of fear-mongering and outright lies.

“Half the English curriculum will be banned”??  Do you even hear yourself?  Get a grip.  There were three books that had very valid concerns about graphic depictions of rape and sex.  Only one of those books was even part of the English curriculum at all.  But sure - your gross hyperbole is so believable.   :roll:  :roll:

“Masks will be banned”??  Again - get a grip.  If anything MANDATES will be banned.  Do you know what a mandate is?  Feel free to keep your kid in a mask - no one cares.  The rest of us will resume normal life.

“VA schools reputation will plummet”?  Newsflash:  you’re a little late.  Curriculum has been so watered down in recent years that they’ve been coasting on their excellent reputation of years past.  Make that decades past.  Hopefully Youngkin will appoint people to the VDOE who actually value academics and merit over “anti-bias trainings.”

And qualified teachers have been leaving the profession in droves long before this last year.  Why?  Because many can be paid higher salaries elsewhere without having to deal with social justice BS.  Private schools, for one.  With luck, VA will get some new charter schools which will attract the best teachers.

Any more ridiculous lies you’d like to spread?[/quote]
