[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Laura Jane Cohen can be too emo for me but she stuck up for the teachers and school-based technology specialists yesterday, which was very important for morale.  The tech failures with distance learning are entirely the fault of Gatehouse and Blackboard, not the personnel at individual schools. [/quote]

LJC is my member, and I talked to her the day all of this happened to voice concerns as parent and staff. I was really surprised she got back to me honestly as I didn’t expect a call from my email. Say what you’d like about her, but she’s taking her job seriously as a representative. She’s also a lot more moderate than you’d think. She did not advocate for FCPSOn because she didn’t think the cost warranted the academic achievement data that FCPS provided, and she wanted more guidelines when approving temporary pay. I personally didn’t agree with her on either of these votes, but I respect that she made an informed decision using data vs. politics. There are a couple of people on that board who just make decisions that will be popular with wherever the tide is rolling at the time. Take McLaughlin for example. I think a lot of this is less about politics and more about the “prestige” or using this as a jump start to greater things.

As a staff member, I find it interesting there’s a student rep but not a teacher rep. [/quote]
