[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in for a real decline in education and raging culture wars about books and bathrooms.  I am so disgusted by those voters who fell for all of Youngkin’s right wing trigger words.[/quote]

Unfortunately, we've all seen what FCPS (and many other school systems) have become after years of left wing trigger words - and emphasis on social justice/equity rather than focusing on excellent academics for all.  We can only go up from here, and I have every confidence a Youngkin-led VDOE will do just that.[/quote]

I disagree with your premise that FCPS isn’t working to provide excellent academics for all.  The pandemic was a huge crisis and they should have gone back sooner.  But they have been educating our students well.  I am not okay with diverting resources to charter schools or allowing unhinged parents to decide what to teach my kids and to have state officials banning books or hiding America’s history.  Elizabeth Schulz was useless when she was on the board — did a lot of screaming and stoking off culture wars.  Education was not her focus.[/quote]

On the other hand, I am not okay with diverting resources to feel-good equity initiatives, spending time that could have been used on academic remediation strategies on changes to TJ admissions intended to reduce the percentage of Asian kids, and wasting money on school expansions that were neither necessary nor subject to any meaningful oversight by the school board.  Schultz was one of the few School Board members who challenged the direction in which the school board was stumbling.  [/quote]

That is a part of education.  Seems you could have learned these lessons.[/quote]
