Absolutely, positively spot-on.
So I must ask again....just what in the hell has Betsy DeVos been doing to earn her paycheck over at DOE?
UGH, no kidding. The only thing that excuses this inaction is IF they are planning a MAJOR overhaul and necessary upheaval, vouchers, competition etc and they believe that this will frighten the soccer moms as the lying corrupt Dems and their media scare the living heck out of them. So I can only hope the day after Trump wins re-election they announce these plans.
Never ... ever ... allow an 'educator' to be elected to the school boards ...
Your neighbors need to know that the school boards exist to represent the taxpayers ... very few people know this ...
What would you do? Changing the school system is not a quick or even easy task to accomplish. But since you are questioning her actions, what is your plan? It really doesn't matter, because any plan you come up with would be met with so much resistance it would never get implemented. It is another swamp almost as big as the Federal Government swamp.
But I am interested to hear what plan you think you could get enacted. Hey it might even work, but we won't know until we hear it. 8>)
BTW, I am not being critical of you, just asking you to examine what you think could & should be done and how to get it implemented, in the framework of a society that perceives itself to be a democratic society devoid of dictator like actors. I agree we need to take back our schools, that has been something I been saying for decades now. Nobody would listen, in fact they dismissed me as being overly dramatic. But when I think how to accomplish it, is where I run into problems of doing so. You see the leftists were very patient, and they have been changing it very slowly over a long period of time. Unfortunately we do not have the time they had. Had we started 20 years ago we might have been successful. But we didn't because we could not believe our teachers would do this to our children. Denial is not only a river in Africa.

DeVos? 1st find me a NON-bureaucrat. Lastly, turn the attn. to the (R)N(C) whom has had the (supposed) elimination of the DoEd on their docket for FOURTY+ yrs. (while proudly passing NCLB & pushing for Common Core+)
She is absolutely WRONG in her assertions.
The first order of business is not the school board. While that is important, it misses the goal.
The first and MOST IMPORTANT thing to recover is the accreditation associations that are going to have to be taken over to prevent that institution from revoking the accreditation of these recreated schools of education. The accreditation of those who teach the teachers how to teach. It is the methods that they are taught to use, the caliber of the candidates who enter, and thus graduated into the ranks of teachers who are those most in need to recreated.
