So true...

She's a strong advocate for charter schools. The education mess in this country rivals the political disaster. Time to shake things up.
I hate to be a jerk but shouldn't political threads be in the Club Level forum? I had to quit Facebook because of this crap and I regret that I participated in this thread... CSR was my only online respite from political BS.
I suggest that anyone who wants to debate politics should coordinate a conference call and it should be done in person, not here.
Take any major company, bring in a new CEO and senior leadership team and see how they do in the first few weeks. Of course in that case, there wouldn't be 24/7 media coverage with everyone looking to pounce on any tidbit of news or stumbles.
Yes, it's been a bit rocky start, but he is doing what he said he's doing and that's a good thing. As others have said, the economy is responding well so far.
I have many liberal friends who think it's the end of the world, but I simply ask them one question........ Since Trump has taken office, has your life changed at all? They stumble to admit is hasn't, but they counter with stories, guesses, and doomsday scenarios of what COULD happen. I prefer to wait to actually see the results, but for liberals that's not near as much fun as speculating and creating the thought of bad things to come. Our country is a really big ship and nobody (not even Trump) is going to steer it wildly off course.
It doesn't matter what she advocates, since she doesn't understand the subject matter. She lacks even a basic understanding of pedagogy, and she has financial ties to charter schools.
If you're in a plane and encounter turbulence, do you ask the attendant to take over? If your engine stalls after your mechanic replaces fuel filters, do you hire a seamstress to fix it? This is what Trump is doing. She's an idiot. It's ridiculous.
This is just plain funny! :thumbsup:
I find it tiresome that for the media the only "qualified" overseer of a government agency is someone who came up through and is a believer in the system they are supposed to oversee.

No. No need to be tired from it, because that's not the case here. That would be a valid point if Betsy HAD A CLUE, yet her conclusions were different than the status quo. Did you watch her interviews? She's honestly a moron, and has massive conflicts of interest. She was a very bad call on Trump's part.
I find it tiresome that people find clueless people in positions of leadership a good thing.
If your boat is constantly failing you, do still go back to the same mechanic? Americans education in comparison to other nations sits somewhere around 27th out 41 nations. It hasn't improved in the last 30 years it has only fallen. I teach in a great community and I am not worried a bit. If I lived in a community where the schools sucked as bad as they do in many big cities i would want choice for my children. Why should they be stuck in a system that is failing? Who wouldn't want that choice? You are aware the only two republicans to vote against Devos, were recipients of NEA/Aft money. If you are against choice for students who live in ****ty school districts you have some self-reflection to do about the equality and opportunity all people deserve.It doesn't matter what she advocates, since she doesn't understand the subject matter.

She made a fool of herself, and therefore a fool of anyone who supports her.

The Department of Education educates no one. Just a dictatorial money pit.

Ah yes, the old 'he doesn't know anything that's why they made him the boss' argument .....yep, the workers always know more than the management.:lol:My wife said it best last night after reading most of the posts here... 12 years of teaching in public schools, the last 6 without a pay increase, 2 had a reduction in her pay due to health care reform (hers went up to help pay for those who have none) So I think she has the right to say this
Those who can't always lead those that can! She can't do any worse than the last ones.
