Annalee Cappello, Capistrano Valley News "I care about hard-working people getting the recognition and credit they deserve. Most of us in the community are aware that the job of a school board member is not an easy one. As Ms. Friess states, 'They perform [it] knowing that they will not be able to please everyone all of the time.' On this topic, Ms. Friess speaks accurately, but she grossly misspeaks by stating that 'These seven individuals are responsible for the education of our children.'"

Annalee Cappello, Capistrano Valley News "Gosh, if I'd known that, I wouldn't have spent the past 15 years of my life teaching English at Marco Forster Middle School, nor would I have spent the past seven years supplementing at home what my daughter has been learning in CUSD schools. I think I would have gone shopping, booked a day at the spa, or gone to the beach. After all, according to Ms. Friess's words, these seven people are responsible for the education of the 140+ students that I see every day in my classroom. I guess I don't need to be there."

Annalee Cappello, Capistrano Valley News "Here's the real deal: The seven CUSD board members are not solely responsible for the education of our children. They do make many policy decisions that impact on our children's education. I feel confident that CVN readers are savvy enough that it takes a lot more than these seven elected officials, most of whom have no experience actually teaching kids, to be responsible for teaching our children. This responsibility involves parents and teachers working together. During these lean financial times, it takes the help of community members and business partners to make things happen for the benefit of our children. All of us who work hard to educate children deserve public praise, not just the seven members of the school board."
