[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at Kurzenhauser's web site, he wasn't just advocating for smaller class sizes.  He was complaining about resources being "diverted" from Dranesville and the need to get "our fair share" and thinking this message would resonate in Dranesville.

And the election results proved him wrong.  Only Langley precincts supported him.  All the other precincts, zoned for Herndon, McLean, Marshall and Westfield HS, rejected the Mitt Romney-like effort to divide the county into "givers" and "takers."

This is the same message that Louise Epstein tried unsuccessfully to sell in 2011, yet the Republicans learned nothing from her loss.  Perhaps by 2019 the wealthy Republicans in Langley will finally realize that we are all in this together and that the goal has always been, and remains, to help all our students succeed.

Your issue seems to be with 1) Republicans and 2) people who are more affluent than you.  I'm a Langley parent and don't consider myself a Republican.  I vote for the person who makes the best case for the issues I care about - regardless of party affiliation.  I've voted Democrat and Republican before.  In this election, I had no qualms about voting for Kurzenhauser as his message resonated with me.  We have three kids and are sick of paying extraordinarily high taxes, only to see our schools' class sizes increase and AAP become a divisive issue in our elementary and middle schools.  Forgive me, but I do think our kids are entitled to the same smaller class sizes your kids are probably enjoying.  If you can't grasp that, then the real issue is simply the huge chip on your shoulder.[/quote]
