[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeff, why are posts about Miranda being removed when they are things she has said PUBLICLY in public forums and on her website?

She posted publicly on her website that one child is in private and the other two attend Montessori.

And then she publicly stated in a public forum that Drew is her neighborhood school which insinuates that her kids go there when they do not.

In that same public forum, she also stated that she has a rising APS middle schooler, which again insinuates this kid is in APS when they are not.

How is this not ok? It is all public and we should be allowed to talk about candidates' PUBLIC statements. She chose to put this info about there about her family. I am not disclosing anything private.

I personally think her answers are technically correct in a lawyerly kind of day, but also sneaky and not very transparent overall.  [/quote]

For Jeff's awareness.  THe SB canddidate has a child currently in private school. That child is returning for public school. By definition they are a rising APS middle schooler.  Just like anyone with pre-schooler planning to attend APS for kinder. THey are a rising APS kinder. Not hard.

And her neighborhood school IS Drew. She is upfront on her website that her two other kids attend MPSA. She still volunteers for the PTA for her neighbhorhood school. Which IS Drew.  Why is thi so hard? My kids went to option schools and I still supported my neighborhood school. And even refer to it as my neighborhoods school.  That's pretty normal IMO. I think it's helpful context to understand she lives in South Arlington. I like knowing that she lives in South Arlington. [/quote]

Are you kidding me? Her responses are misleading in a weaselly lawyerish way. Isn’t her platform accountability and transparency from APS? I’m not optimistic with this kind of word splitting about herself. [/quote]

Big difference to say you have a rising APS kindergartener. Most preschoolers don't/can't attend APS, while most rising APS middle schoolers are already in elementary school in APS, except Miranda's is not.

It will also be interesting to see if she actually puts her daughter back in APS this fall. Right now she says she is planning to, but plans can change.

[b]I plan to send my kids to Harvard but that may not pan out[/b].

That's a stupid analogy. A "plan" to send a kid to Harvard depends on Harvard allowing you to. There's nothing preventing a parent from enrolling their 6th grader in a public middle school.[/quote]
