[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My #1 issues is schools and I’ve been happy with Youngkin (especially getting rid of cell phones). I’ve looked into Spanberger’s plan regarding schools and am not happy. Our schools are terrible. I want school choice, more magnets and she is only interested in resource teachers. I’m at a title 1 school and there are already 2-3 resource teachers per classroom, yet every year scores drop. There is such intense focus on underperforming kids that no one else is learning grade level material. Instead of politicians saying they’re for schools- what about teachers and parents? [/quote]

This comment got me thinking.  It's the one thing that Spanberger said about schools that makes me cringe.  Otherwise, I like her.  I didn't vote for Youngkin, but in regards to school...I think he's done a great job.  The school system is failing the kids.  I appreciate the standards and accountability he's put in.  I celebrate that he finally stood up to cell phones in school!  So, if Sears has been under him for the past few years...I may just vote for her.  Haven't even considered it until this comment made me think about it.[/quote]

You all understand that places like Fairfax Co were already moving forward with cell phone bans before Youngkin did anything, right?  He should get very little credit on that front.[/quote]
