It's the DC school board. Even those who get elected don't really win.
I didn't like any of the candidates so I skipped it. None of them really spoke to me as an educator. They all seemed "out there" or uninformed about the reality of education.

Ashley Carter, I haven't voted yet, and I feel I have learned more on this thread about the candidates than through all my other reading.


No, I don't think anyone believes that.


Nope. No one.

Now have to ponder whether I watch game 6 or just keep clicking on this thread and looking for news on Ashley Carter. Tough one...


Same, I almost didn't click because I figured it was a just favorite for people that are really super invested in the school board race. So glad I gave it a shot!

Oh my. I thought her flyer which had some unrealistic goal like getting the graduation rate to 100% in a year made her seem like a bored ex-sorority girl with too much time on her hands and little knowledge about the struggles of Dc kids. Now I know that is what she is.
