[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the school board contains all or close to the majority representing only one party, what happens is that then the administrators think they are safe to get away with whatever they want. No checks. Having a school board that changes hands means that checks will also trickle down to the schools. It is easier for teachers, students, and parents to be heard when there isn't just one agenda being addressed.[/quote] Say what you want about the Dems but I saw the Republicans hand out at my kids back to school night. Yikes. They’re completely out of touch. I’ll stick with the Dems this year. [/quote] Worrying about academic achievement and special ed services is "out of touch"?[/quote] When Republicans are the party of banning books and banning certain curriculum, they are not the party of "academic achievement." And I'm laughing my a$$ off that you typed that with a straight face.[/quote] No party hurt education in fairfax county more than the all D school board closing in person school for a year - I can't believe YOU typed that with a straight face. The actual data doesn't support you. You're only feelings, not data on test scores and quantifiable academic achievement. [/quote] It’s weird that PP is such a partisan supporter of the all-D School Board when they don’t even stick around themselves to defend their records. Only 4 of the current 12 are running for re-election; others are either retiring or running for other offices and trying to capitalize on their limited name recognition (while at the same time trying to distance themselves from their own past decisions on the SB).[/quote] They had to face so many attacks and so much vitriol, it’s not a surprise so many are done with it.[/quote]
