FCPS is heading in the wrong direction: cost per pupil is up↗️ while SAT and SOL scores have fallen⬇️Teacher retention is down ↘️and enrollment is down↘️. Fairfax County needs to support school board members who will #ChangeDirection🔀We must reverse course for our kids future!

[FCPS Teacher @FCPS_Teacher]

@FFXParentsAssoc @Chantilly_HS How about we put down the political games, start paying teachers a competitive salary, rewarding the best ones, and start focusing on our children? What a waste of money. Again.

[Fairfax County Parents Association @FFXParentsAssoc]

Local mom frustrated with administrative costs of the school system put together this list of salaries using publicly available information. The comparison is stark: administration salaries are far higher than hard working teachers in classrooms with our students.

[FCPS Teacher @FCPS_Teacher]

@FFXParentsAssoc Exactly. Teachers are not safe, especially when we cannot discipline.

"People moving out of Northern Virginia brings down Virginia's median income." The decline in Fairfax County and Loudoun County public schools is contributing to this population exodus. ⁦@ssurovell⁩ https://t.co/sbFXZyEWpx

If the government shuts down, it will be because Radical Democrats like Virginia's two embarrassments for senators @MarkWarner and @timkaine refuse to just FUND THE GOVERNMENT instead of ramming through their ideological agenda with Americans' tax dollars.

[Terry Schilling 🇺🇸 @Schilling1776]

This is all true and the national test scores back it up.

The problem is parents are not taking responsibility — but the problem there is that parents don’t know because schools don’t include parents. They treat them as enemies.

@RichAndersonRPV @Stella4Senate @Julie4Senate As a teacher, this is absolutely horrifying yet not surprising. There's a reason teachers don't speak out against all of the nonsense happening at schools. Unethical people like @stella_pekarsky will retaliate, and just watch, there will be no consequences for her behavior.

[Former RPV Chair Rich Anderson @RichAndersonRPV]

Time for far-left @Stella4Senate to withdraw & restore honor to VA's electoral processes after records obtained via a FOIA request indicate that she attempted to professionally punish Fairfax teacher & GOP Senate nominee @Julie4Senate. There is no place for this in Virginia.

@RachnaHeizer The ratio on this tweet is well deserved. You are a hack who cares more about your political career than actually supporting teachers and students. No one believes your lies except those in your echo chamber. You should resign. Give someone a chance who will help kids.

[threat to bureaucracy @ErinLobato]

@RachnaHeizer Do u consider yourself a moderate, Rachna? How about the other 11 Democrats sitting on the All-Democrat FCPS School Board now? Do u think that the 100% Democrat FCPS School Board has made FCPS better? Shepherded FCPS well the past 3 years? Deserve another 4 years? I don't.

Let's get serious about student learning in Fairfax County!

[FCPS Teacher @FCPS_Teacher]

@FcpOpen @FFXParentsAssoc FEA/unions don't like that; higher standards only cause more work for teachers, longer days or years, also more work. The unions control Fairfax County, so it's all about making it an easier place for teachers to work without accountability, not about actually educating kids.

[FCPS Teacher @FCPS_Teacher]

@DeAngelisCorey and his suggestion is "community schools" -- where you child can get both crappy healthcare and a crappy education. win/win . . . . (and still doesn't help this woman's issue)

[FCPS Teacher @FCPS_Teacher]

@RobertRigbyJr1 @NBCUniversal Are you really complaining about someone buying a school board? Have you looked in the mirror lately? https://t.co/icTPYmAE0C

[FCPS Teacher @FCPS_Teacher]

@drNEKing Chief of Schools? What is that? Another bureaucrat making six figures sitting in Gatehouse while teachers continue to be overworked. Maybe have him spend a year at Glasgow Middle or another school in the county before he gets to sit in an office all day.

[FCPS Teacher @FCPS_Teacher]

@Elated_4_1_20 @bluevirginia I don't care about her race or religion. I care that under McKay's watch, taxes have increased, crime has increased, schools are a dumpster fire, and teacher retention and police retention are low. He has not done a good job and does not deserve a second term.

[FCPS Teacher @FCPS_Teacher]

@rweingarten of course it doesn't help that places like @fcpsnews only provides training on equity, equity, equity, to make sure our grading practices trick parents into thinking their kid is actually learning something

[FCPS Teacher @FCPS_Teacher]

@FoxMillDem @HollySeiboldVA @notlarrysabato @Stella4Senate She managed to have teachers leaving in droves because of the ridiculous demands on them that have nothing to do with helping our kids succeed academically. She's managed to chase every good teacher into private schools or retirement. There's an accomplishment of Stella's.

[FCPS Teacher @FCPS_Teacher]

@FFXParentsAssoc Any teacher who gives money to that union is a disgrace to the once great profession.
