I have not seen anything pertinent that Betsy DeVos has done for the education system (how about getting rid of the dept of education), so I thought I'd post and ask those in the know.
What is the latest about ridding ourselves of common core, or implementing the Bible back into schools? Or incorporating vocational training back into high schools which is exactly what this nation needs. The messaging that every kid needs to go to college or they're a loser makes me sick.
The school system is awful, truly. Our kids (foster, who have since left home) quit school but still get passing grades in some of their classes as the school system is dependent on kids passing to get money.
Shes staying under the radar and getting things done.
What things?
implementing the Bible back into schools?
I hope so but I haven’t heard anything and this is really important.
I would love to see what you think she’s getting done.
sorry but we should be able to read the Bible in schools without threat of lawsuit. It’s not a tax payer funded issue.
What do you expect?
Whatever it is, how long would it take to implement change, what are the metrics, and how long does it take for the results to start to show up?
A marathon. Not a sprint.
What a kid does on his free time in school should include reading the Bible or any other book he chooses. Having the school teach it is not the same issue.
Where is Hillary? Where is Huma? Where is McCabe pre retirement? Where is Sessions? A big week ahead??
The Bible does not belong in school. The country is becoming more secular, number one, and I don’t think most Americans would want it.
Students can pray peacefully quietly, but not in front of classmates and faculty.
DeVos should have been Trump’s chief of staff instead of Education Secy. You need a pitbull heading DOE.
Kelly should have remained DHS Secy or Defense.
A pitbull is needed as DOE Secretary.
Since it’s MLK Day:
Black Colleges Swept Up in For-Profit Crackdown Find Relief From DeVos

I expected lots of exploding liberal heads from her, and from Carson.
Maybe they’re coming.
I’ve heard all kinds of successes of Trump’s...she’s different?
The consensus back then was that "Like it or not, she (Betsy DeVos) has made a mark.
Again, that was six months ago. During which time many of us were yapping that Trump himself wasn't getting anything done, when in fact, he has been getting a lot done.
Finally, don't expect the MSM to be trumpeting any of her achievements or those of any other Trump cabinet member. The MSM absolutely hates Donald Trump and wants to see him and his Administration fail or be marginalized.
At all costs.
And many of us play right into the narrative because we howl and stamp out feet when we don't see the NYT or CNN singing their praises.
you’re a libtard
That said....some Bible values should be taught in Public Schools.............
I took a Bible as literature course in college. It was okay, but not something to keep a K-12 interested for long.
And students that choose to pray....should be able to choose wherever they like to pray.
PERIOD.
Disagree with your post...........
just wake me when she publishes the plan to disband her department and return fed ed money to the states.
