Quotebut I think the new PTA president was already predisposed against Booster based on the experiences of his/her own kids earlier. i'd say that is highly likely to be true.

teachers have a point about this -- it's beyond fucked up that the school board gets a 60% raise but nobody can afford to pay teachers a decent salary. just keep in mind that when you do the teach to the rule stuff, the only people you're actually hurting are the kids. the SB are a group of fundamentally unserious yahoos. they don't care what you do or don't do. try not to hurt the kids.

school board is a bunch of clowns. 7 years of budget shortfalls, class sizes going up and up, teacher salary stagnating, and we're facing a $100M budget shortfall after this coming school year, yet they voted themselves a 60% pay raise it's expensive to run -- you need about $35k to mount a decent campaign. and it takes an assload of time. but yeah, i'll vote for any non-incumbent at this poi

Forum: Fairfax County General

depends on the HOA. some are legitimately trying to improve value. problem is the concept has outlived its usefulness as the market has driven up property values in the last 20 years. then add in the HOAs which are staffed by people desperate to prove their self-importance to a world that doesn't care about them. those are the dangerous ones.

does anyone under the age of 60 support HOAs? you old fuckers still haven't figured out that you're actually working against your stated goal of maintaining property value. young families are eschewing suburbs at an increasing pace, partly because your ridiculous covenants don't change with the times. nobody buys a $700k house and then lets it go to shit. and even if they did, county regs can

i'd be willing to pay $150 more in property taxes. but only if i knew that the money would go to class size and teacher salaries. but it won't. it will go to all the bullshit, and we'll be right back in the same position next year, holding the kids hostage while refusing to make cuts that any parent with a red pen could make.
Forum: Fairfax County General

the problem is that's never the stuff that gets cut. all they know how to do is raise class size and hold teacher pay steady. i know teacher pay is a controversial topic on this site (but not for 98% of people in the real world), but class size is already ridiculous at about half of the schools. 30 kids in a first grade class? that's an abdication -- nobody learns shit in that environment. i
