Previously supported Common Core.
School choice doesn’t preclude common core.
You can apparently choose any school you like, but they will all teach common core.
She’s a strong proponent for school choice. Unions hate that. I’m not sure in the common corr issue
She previously supported it. I don’t support things I supported years ago either.
“can you give a little insight as to why?”
-
I don’t know why the poster feels that way but in my opinion her strong support of charter schools would have a lot to do with it.
,
She’s pro-charter advocate. Waiting for the teachers’ unions to explode.
Popcorn...
From my understanding she used to but Trump doesn’t, so she will have to follow the boss.
Uncle Miltie approves.
Bad News—lots to learn on education. Takes lots of reading. School Choice will end up getting claws into homeschoolers (private ed)-who will take the cash. Then comes guess what....
Too bad Trump is unread as hell on ed...more SNOWFLAKES ahead.
Can’t win them all. I’ll have my kid done before they start the regs.
School Choice & Charter straight out of marxist playbook. SAD TO WATCH THIS MISSTEP!!!!!
payback for carrying Michigan. The DeVos's are big playa's.
Yes they are pro Common Core and yes it was even in the Charter Schools of which they were fond of and or were the funding behind ( Do your homework ) them, don't ask me how I know, don't get me started....
Don’t know this woman.
Info on common core as some say she supports. IDK!

Definitely a political payoff. She’s essentially the Republican Party gatekeeper for the state of Michigan. No one runs as a Republican for statewide political office without her blessing.
Michigan payback. Fight unions. School choice. Female.
Decent pick.
Common Core needs to go though. Actually, I would be fine closing national Dept of Education. Annoying federal interference with what should be a local issue.
I'm calling it a very bad pick. She's pro-Common Core. She was appointed by W. to the board of directors of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. We need to defund the arts and CC stricken from our schools.
Am thinking maybe that is what is about to happen?
The correct answer is - eliminate the Dept of Education
Big whoop. She's pro-Common Core. We don't need anyone who's pro-Common Core.
Maybe she had to be to get along with the fascists.
IOW, every single person in the Tucker extended family is top notch?
