[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McAuliffe won Fairfax County by a whopping 65 - 35, so there's no reason for them to not double down.

The state DoE, however, may tread a bit more cautiously.[/quote]

+100. [/quote]

-100. If democrats want state wide office, they need wider margins in Fairfax. [/quote]

Agreed. If you're a Dem and you only get 65 percent of the vote in Fairfax, you've got problems. I saw a lot of Youngkin signs around where I live in Springfield. I saw one McAuliffe sign.

I do agree that the schools issue is more than CRT. I could care less about CRT. I'm still livid we went thru DL for all of last year when the kids and teachers could have safely returned to the classroom using social distancing and masks. And I hate the fact that our reading curriculum for lower-elementary is so weak. I didn't vote for Youngkin because I think he's terrible. But I guarantee you I will vote for almost any Republican who runs for the school board.[/quote]

Republicans didn't make the school board any better when they were on it.  Maybe instead of electing politicians from major political parties, we should put full-time educational professionals in charge.  Or perhaps have NO major party involvement.[/quote]

Frye-D, Brickner-R, Thomas-R.  2 AA operating as non woke.  Full time pro educators can have pedagogue issues.  FCPS has a high FARMS/ESL school that was a major success story.   Core Knowledge, phonics, literature. spelling, traditional math.  Better stuff in instruction than at the vast majority of FCPS elementary schools.  What happened?  Use it as a prototype?  No.  Scrap heap by educrats with different opinions on instruction.

Professional Education Pedagogues https://www.todos-math.org/assets/docs2016/2016Enews/3.pospaper16_wtodos_8pp.pdf
Cited articles stretch even back to 2000.  Meanwhile that high FARMS-ESL elementary school was high performing.  Unfortunately that objective performance metric didn't fit the narrative.

Nor does the new NAACP language arts initiative.  NAACP as the opposition leader to the liberal educrat pedagogues!  How weird is that?  Maybe some people who matter finally looked at the crap their kids got in school.
