much longer. they are losing out on the childhood they deserve. if older teachers with co morbidities need to retire, then they need to retire because they can’t do what the job now is. Kids need to go to school pretty soon.

It’s going to take a lot more for Donald Trump & Betsy Devos to convince me they are pro-education than ordering people back to school during a pandemic.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Lets Go Darwin

I would be overjoyed if the federal Department of Education was abolished. The Constitution left education to the people and the states. What do you mean by "pro-education"? Are Trump and Devos anti-education? That's silly. But we shouldn't even be talking about their pro or anti education. That should strictly be a state and local issue.

No,
I’m saying Betsy is incompetent.

Our tax dollars hard at work.

Let her go back to being a rich elitist. She is the swamp.

Yes, let's get rid of her so the Dept. of Education can get back to doing its stellar job of making American public education the miracle it had become before she came on board, especially for minorities.

Your funny are you suggesting only privately run schools can successfully teach American and minorities..

Seems you fail to grasp the volume of students who pass thru our public schools or how their funded staffed ect.

And what you deem a measurement of success. Is absent from your response

And what has devos done to improve the system besides throw money at religous and private ones . Which has been her goal since day 1

Clearly our system doesn't treat all school and students equally and never has. And choice is only an option to those who wish to pay for it , or the willingness to to have their child travel hours to a charter school because they can't afford to live in that area.. with good schools .. this isnt just a minority issue its a rual issues as well
But for the right its not an issue at all .. they wish to fix . Its part of their national relection theme. They can't loose the base .. whom id wager 99% went to public schools . Who clearly failed them in civics and history
