Fortunately I completed most of my schooling before there ever was a fedgov DOE.

My ‘hometown’ school district hasn’t changed much over the past 40 years.

Other than the employment register of the local school system has more than doubled.

The number of kiddos is roughly the same.

Oddly enough, the test scores have remained largely the same or have fallen.

And the school superintendent now lives in a half million dollar house and drives a $80K+ car.

Huh.

What? Are you insane????? You must be sarcastic on that dumb post.

[Hostage]

So you are now arguing Trump will follow Jeb Bush’s lead?

Is that what you’re saying?

You saying that Trump is for Common Core and will renew Common Core?

Is that it?

Yeah, I suppose you’re the type that would find a scriptural reference confirming that Jesus visited Hell, therefore Jesus can’t possibly be the Christ.

Common Core no longer is federally funded. When it was funded, it was a pot of money. De Vos wanted the money for Charter Schools. It’s that simple. Her past shows she’s not about progressive indoctrination in public schools aka Common Core curriculum spending. She was about arguing that Charter Schools could hold their own against the leftist infested puvlic schools. Do your homework.

As for Jeb Bush, dumber than a box of rocks, he made his way to become a governor, so yeah, his *ss got kissed by many who I am sure were reluctant to do so.

[Black Agnes]

She sure has been ‘around’ common core supporters a lot to be someone who is against it.

We’ll see.

‘We’ are suspicious because as it turns out states that no longer support ‘common core’ in fact just renamed the same exact curriculum and still teach it.

He hired someone that’s on the board of Jebbie’s common core supporting organization.

Doesn’t look good so far.

How many other qualified people who have NOT spent time with Jebbie were passed over for this lady?

[napscoordinator]

I just find it hard to believe that she said she was against Common Core 40 minutes or so again but really is for Common Core. That doesn’t make sense.

[Black Agnes]

Why would she have been on the board of Jebbie’s common core supporting organization if she, in fact, did NOT support fedgov standardizing the curriculum?

Lots of states passed ‘anti common core’ initiatives. As it turns out they just renamed the same curriculum and still teach it.

A rose by any other name in this case, stinks to high heaven.

How on earth did we put men on the moon withOUT a federal department of education? Must have been a hollywood set instead /s.

She’s highly qualified. Just look at her background.

You’re fighting alongside the Washington Post and the other media liars who are trying to drive a wedge between Trump and conservatives.

Get off it.
