[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An appointed School Board, rather than an elected one, would have done a better job managing the schools. They would not have been directly beholden to the voters (voters would have to get rid of the County Supervisors to get rid of School Board members). Up until 1994 or so FCPS did have an appointed School Board. Pretty much when the divide started to open in Fairfax. Really started to take a turn for the worse between 2000 and 2010.

This particular School Board seems incapable of comprehending long term consequences, accounting for all of the facts, or making tough decisions. Whoever yells the most gets their way. No way to run a school system.

Although it today's age of crazy parents, perhaps even an appointed School Board would be afraid to make tough decisions. And this site is full of some of the craziest parents out there. Redshirting, helicopter parents, my kid must qualify for AAP, Great Schools score of at least an 8, blah, blah, blah...

And I don't understand how the liberal voters of Fairfax can be so blatantly hypocritical - yes, let's vote for politicians who are in favor of unchecked immigration, but I'm not sending my kids to the schools where there are too many of them. My kids are too good for that. Their justifications as to why seem to know no end![/quote]

Wat? Crazy rant. I actually am here for the Gatehouse insider. Please spill the tea![/quote]
