[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Angelo answered some questions on AEM a week or so ago. I don't think I'm allowed to post that here, but anyone who wants to can go find it. [/quote]

Angelo also dismissed some questions on AEM. The answers and responses he did provide reak of "politician" and not of someone passionate - or even knowledgeable - about APS issues. [/quote]

so that's not cherry picking but me pointing out Miranda's evasive answer on where her kids go to school is?

are you really ok with her saying she's a Drew parent when NONE of her kids go to Drew???[/quote]

I find it rather creepy that she is on the PTA of a school that none of her kids attend. I would feel weird about any adult who did the same.[/quote]

Would you rather the PTA go without needed leadership and support? Because that's why Miranda has continued to be involved with Drew PTA even after her kids in Montessori left because Montessori moved out of the building. Drew PTA didn't have the people they needed step up!  So it's creepy that someone who lives in the neighborhood wants to support the neighborhood school whether they have kids in the school or not? Would you find it creepy for an adult who moved to the neighborhood but doesn't have kids or whose kids attended school in their previous home location to care about their surrounding community and join the neighborhood school's PTA? Especially if it's a school that has traditionally struggled to solicit strong PTA participation?[/quote]

Relax. Drew can recruit their own volunteers, just like other PTAs in Arlington. They don't need help from a well intentioned white woman whose kids don't even go to their school.

I don't know if it's creepy, but it's definitely weird that Miranda is seen as such a savior of Drew.

You clearly are not familiar with Drew and the difficulty it has historically had with its PTA.
GMB. Nobody is claiming (including Miranda) that she is Drew's savior. She's merely citing her relevant involvement with APS.[/quote]
