[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen lots of online commentary on her being crazy and MAGA during the pandemic. I did not have kids in schools then so don't know all the background. But her responses on the various candidate questionnaires I have seen for this election all seem reasonable, relatively measured, and most importantly (to me) much more specific on actual changes that would increase the rigor and accountability of MCPS. She also cites evidence more than the other candidates. I disagree with her on Mahmoud vs. Taylor but even her responses on that topic don't seem particularly extreme.

I really don't like the idea of voting for a MAGA candidate but also feel like ultimately I should be voting based on the candidates' stated views, and hers seem pretty good and at least very clear whereas all the other candidates seem to respond entirely in vague platitudes, which makes me think they'll just roll with whatever the superintendent and MCEA want rather than providing actual oversight and differing views. What am I missing?[/quote]

She has toned down her rhetoric since her last run for the BOE. You should know that she was fired from MCPS for refusing to adhere to vaccination requirements for CoVid. She refused to wear a mask. And rather than do these things, she simply did not show up to teach, leaving administrators scrambling to cover her classes.

If you think this behavior is well-reasoned, by all means, vote for her.[/quote]

based on reports from her coworkers at Gaithersburg HS, she wasn't even showing up or building her own curriculum before the pandemic. There's plenty of threads out there about this. But how is she able to spend so much time on social media and pandering to any group that will listen to her, while she's apparently running her own virtual school?? What curriculum is she teaching there and who has enrolled in that school? [/quote]

Some of her colleagues have also reported that she made racist comments about the black and brown kids at GHS (e.g., calling them ghetto). This, to me, is disqualifying, full stop, but especially problematic on a school board where the job is to represent all kids even when the wealthiest voices do their best to drown out everyone else.
