I really dont mind if she doesn’t make it. All his other picks are great...this one seems marginal at best.
I agree. I was taken back when she asked about special education and federal rules and equity and assessibility she said she would look into it. What??? It is Federal rule that if States take Fed money that are required to provide services to disabled children. I raised a child with mental disability. So this is important to me.
I live in Michigan and know about Devos family. Great family and does many things for our state. BUT
She never attended a public school,nor her kids. Never took out a student loan or grant.
There are many Republican educators out there that would have been more qualified then her.
Agree. Staunch conservative but this pick is weak. This is a Jeb Bush type pick that favors the business of charter schools, quite lucrative, over professional educators, quality or not. Those in a union, and those not. She has no experience. Trump began the primary talking about local control. Wish he would stick with that and stay away from the Walton, Gates, big business charter scheme. Sounds great in utopian principle. It is another thing altogether when implemented. Read Diane Ravitch to completely understand. Baltimore, Detroit, SF, New York, not great records.
