[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I do think the schools in Mclean are very well run, so if she has something to do with that, I'm all for supporting her. It is an important region having some of the most important schools for fueling Tyson's growth, keeping up the reputation of several large STEM oriented schools in western Fairfax, and dealing with some of the most impoverished schools in the county.[/quote]

I find this whole "we need new blood" argument to be ridiculous. What happened to having experience? That's a great value and it helps us all. I live in Dranesville, and this woman Epstein is just an angry partisan with no actual governing experience. She doesn't seem to play nice with others. I may not agree with Strauss on all issues, but change for change's sake is dangerous when you're voting for somebody like this woman Louise. Read how this thread started... This is somebody with no viable solutions to the class size problem. She just wants to steal resources from the less fortunate. That won't fly. Maybe there's no good solution to the class size problem other than, you know, spending lots of money to help ALL kids in Fairfax get lower class size. That's at least honest, but it's not what you guys seem to want to hear. And people wonder why our politics are filled with panderers... [/quote]

I have lived here for nearly twenty years.   Janie Strauss looks after her own, not her constituency.  One example is her vote to have Kent Gardens AAP go to Churchill Road and Franklin Sherman AAP go to Haycock.  It was a ridiculous vote based on the neighborhood in which she lives.   Kent Gardens goes 100% to McLean HS. Haycock feeds McLean.  Churchill Road is in Langley's district.  Franklin Sherman is split between McLean and Langley.  Logic would dictate that Franklin Sherman would be the school to move to Churchill Road, not Kent Gardens.  So, now busses taking KG AAP student to Churchill Road cross through Franklin Sherman's district to get there and AAP FS students go the opposite direction passing through Kent Gardens district to get to Haycock.   Ridiculous.  I don't live in the Chesterbrook district, so it didn't affect me, but it but one example.  [/quote]
