Miranda put her oldest daughter in Drew AFTER Montessori.

The 2 to 3 key trolls on AEM live in the wealthiest, whitest parts of town (whose comments appear very similar to here). They of course don't want brown people as neighbors, let alone as classmates of their kids. [/quote]

and then Miranda took her daughter OUT of Drew and sent her to private.

Oh please.  This is getting ridiculous.  All her kids will be in APS when she’s in office.[/quote]

But she's a partner in a big DC law firm. If she didn't have time for her kids during the lockdown, how will she have time to adequately serve us on the school board?[/quote]

Wow what disrespect for teachers. They are not your babysitters; not everyone can be a teacher. What an anti-feminist (how dare anyone have a career to maintain), privileged (drop everything for virtual school or be able to outsource to pod), and disrespectful (they are professionals; not a babysitting job anyone can do if they just have time) take. [/quote]

I don't get how asking about whether Miranda has time for the school board job is disrespectful to teachers? that's quite a stretch. [/quote]

Because the response was gross. “If she didn’t have time for her kids during lockdown.”  PP knew exactly what a crappy comment that was or is incredibly unaware of their privilege. I would have sent my kids to private in 2 seconds during covid and I’m a SAHP.  Parents don’t send their kids to school because they don’t have time for them, it’s because they want professionals educators teaching them. School is not a babysitting service for parents that “don’t have time.”  [/quote]

Cut the privilege crap. Few have more privilege than Miranda. It's a legitimate question - How is she going to have time to be on the school board?[/quote]

She’s a force. Lady does everything and has for years. She follows all the issues because she’s spent years studying them. The most productive and reliable people I know are often the ones who seem to do the impossible (eg big job, super involved in pta, Rec coach, civic assn). I’ve seen her in action and she’s whip smart with excellent work ethic. She’d be incredible on the board. [/quote]

I've seen her in action too and I was less than impressed. She made a lot of assumptions. I don't see a record of real work. She joined some things but what has she really led, aside from APE? [/quote]
