Betsy DeVos’s mandate should be the complete elimination of the Dept of Education.
No more bribes and Federal Mandates.
Transition ALL educational decisions back to the States.
Some States will need Federal funds during this transition, and they should be put on a path to self sufficiency.
Betsy, Shut Down the Dept of Education Now !!!!!!
Yes eliminating that department would be ideal. But I think before that can happen it needs to be severely pruned and overhauled and the states at the same time need to take over. Have the private sector play a role is key. States need to be able to fire bad teachers. There needs to be more parent involvement and control. Eliminating common core. There has to be testing of competency otherwise there is no measure of progress, and wouldn’t it be nice to link teacher pay to performance. I supported her nomination, had the occasion to speak with her a couple of days ago. It’s a big job but I told her she is the one that can do it.
