[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Silly. You don't vote this year in order to deal with the election 4 years away. DCUM should be doing a public service to this district. Epstein: If you're reading this, don't run. You will not be elected on the strength of, "I will make empty promises to fix the stuff Strauss hasn't fixed."

Nobody likes large class sizes. Nobody. But what's the real solution?[/quote]

+ 1000

I live in Dranesville, and I will vote against Epstein and donate heavily to anybody who runs against her. Anybody. (Thank goodness she hasn't announced... yet.) If your primary message is: Taxes are too high, so let's make the most of a dwindling resource by focusing it on the wealthy parts of our district... then you are not fit to serve on a School Board. You do not understand the purpose of public education. And you are harmful to our schools' real chances of success.

Somebody ought to run who can speak the truth: Good schools cost money. Richmond ought to pay more; the Board of Supervisors ought to be diversifying their tax base more so we're not so dependent on property taxes, etc. But bottom line is that anybody who says they can fix the schools by starving them to death is a liar.[/quote]
