Capt. Stacie Kincaid of the Fairfax Sheriff's Dept. announced her candidacy for Sheriff last night. Unlike Stiles, she's actually voted in Democratic primaries and donated to Democratic campaigns. So Fairfax could have its first female Sheriff! Sites is toast. Sorry, Stan.

The Post says the special election will be on the same day as the governor's election. Fairfax Dems got real tired of Stan's being a DINO and will be happy to support anyone but Stan's hand picked crown prince. Stiles has been a democrat for about a minute and a half. It's a flag of convenience for Mark; just as it was for Stan. If a real Democrat with a law enforcement background wants the jo

Avoid IB classes. The homework will monopolize your life and you'll get little or no advance college credit for your trouble. You don't need all honors. Take honors is the subjects you enjoy and do well in. A nightly homework load of 4-6 hours per night isn't worth it. College professors have no respect for high school studies and you'll have to do it all over again in college. It's a rac

Existing FCPS regulations limit total homework assignment to a student to not exceed 2 hours per night.
