[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the support for Sandy. We need school board members who will stand up to APS administration. This has been our biggest problem for years! With budgets being cut, I'm sure this is why AEA didn't endorse her. They don't trust her to have a mind of her own. [/quote]

I feel the same way about Priddy. Someone as uninformed as him will not stand up to administrative staff. [/quote]

I disagree. I think he's learning how to get stuff done behind the scenes. Before all this mess broke, he was part of an effort to fix ADA stuff at Fleet. And also was working on making the TJ/Fleet parking mess better. He's been making connections and leveraging them since he ran last year.

And say what you will about NVD, but I think she's the most analytical of our current members. He won her over, so I assume there's a reason.[/quote]

Yeah, all it takes to "win over" NVD is to agree with her and tout the things she believes in.
I don't think David is a dynamic leader.  I think he goes with the wind; but at least he asks questions and listens.  I disagree that he is uninformed.[/quote]

Everyone asks questions and listens![/quote]

Actually, no.  There's "listening" and then there's "maybe waiting for you to stop speaking so I can tell you the right opinion and perspective" and then there's "hearing you so I can say I've listened before I utterly dismiss your opinion and experience."[/quote]

Agreed.  Many, many people don't listen.  They are quiet while someone else is talking, so then they can say what they think.  That's not listening.  These same people also don't usually ask questions, because they think they know everything and asking a question seems like admitting there's something they don't know.[/quote]
