After the meet the candidates meeting a few Mondays ago I will be supporting the three women in the race. Only the women understood parental rights, the three men openly stated that parents have no control in the classroom.

Add to that Darryl’s loud outburst at one of the parents that was completely unprofessional and embarrassing for the board.

We seem to have lost most of our strong men and our women are having to do the standing up.

Just my humble opinion.

I support parents having the option to enroll their child in any school of their choice and having the education funds for that student made applicable to the school selected. I do not support having to pay property taxes at the current rate or an increased rate to fund Leon County public schools. I felt this way even before the statements at issue that this Principal, Hanna and the Board made were uttered. Having one child pass fully through Leon County public schools and having removed another never to return, I am only more convinced I made the right personal family decision. It is very much a personal decision. The public school system has lost my trust. If a different parent feels diferently and are ok with their student’s educational experience then I am not in favor of removing their choice. I just no longer want to be compelled to fund someone else’s choices whether that consists of the School Board’s decisions as to how to operate schools or another parent’s decision to place their child in that model.

The war of who is right will never have a winner. It is a cancer in this country right now. The prevailing reaction to everything is not only that one’s opinion is the right one but that its the only one and if you think differently then you are the problem. It in the schools and everywhere else. I’m no longer interested in changing anyone’s mind. I am exercising my freedom to walk away and make a different decision that works better for me and I am hopeful that it will become the case that what is not public school funding will one day be school funding period that follows the child.

Leon County schools are nothing but a cesspool of liberal ideology. Moving to a conservative county when I retire soon.

The training conference Mr Hanna refers to needs to be video and audio recorded and retained for future subpoenas. No time lapses, gaps or missing minutes.

“There are those that seek to pit parents against schools, but here in in Leon County we believe that collaborative and cohesive parental involvement is one of the most important factors in helping students succeed”

Huh. Tell that to the Littlejohn’s, Rocky.

I wish there was a way to either ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ comments on this site. Some of these comments deserve a show of support with ‘likes’ others not so much.

Parents shouldn’t have to send their children to government-run schools.

Some of the commenters here seem to be happy with sharing their parental rights with the government and turning their children over to them. Fine, they can send their children to the government schools.

Parents who are deeply unhappy with the government-run schools should get vouchers to send their children to the school(s) of their choice.
