She's so bad, she's GREAT! "Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell, where they already have it."

User ID: 73365358 United States 01/19/2017 08:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am in the Public Schools daily - working on equipment. It's far worse than what you think. I would no more send my kid to a Public School for an education, than I would send him to a dumpster for a meal. This isn't just a battle against the NEA. Like other parts of the Trump agenda, it's about salvaging the Middle Class. Having Shit Holes for Public Schools doesn't concern the rich......their kids wouldn't be going there anyway. But for the working class family that can't Home School, it's their only option. That will change under DeVos. Just think.....what if we can exponentially increase the number of Ben Carsons that come out of inner city Detroit? All of those kids won't have to "settle" for failure (while teachers' pay & benefits continue to rise). They are putting out a worse product than they ever have, yet due to their union, they'll still do fine. Not gonna be that way anymore......there's a new Sheriff in town. I'd complain more, but I'm too busy being blessed. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 73646019 United States 01/19/2017 08:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually, most teachers I know, including myself, HATE what school has become. It's a boring indoctrination of BS that makes you an idiot or makes you give up your creativity. At least this is true in FL. Plus, zero parent accountability. I'm hoping that we can make some changes with this Administration. I don't think it's fair to blame the teachers for the system though. I don't live in a state that a strong union either, so I don't know much about that. Betsy DeVos scares me a little. I have family in Michigan, and I hear that didn't go so well. |

Vicious Deplorable dollop
You ain't seen nothing yet! User ID: 73809350 United States 01/20/2017 07:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ..or are people just bitching to bitch? Quoting: AquaBrat Senate Democrats: Betsy DeVos is not qualified to be secretary of education Massive public opposition to Betsy DeVos is building and Senate Republicans are feeling our pressure. They just delayed DeVos’ confirmation hearing by a week. We have the momentum, but our work is not done. Congress must keep the U.S. Department of Education out of the hands of DeVos, an extreme right-wing bigot who has no relevant experience as an educator and did not attend or send her children to public school. Can you help us turn up the pressure? DeVos is a right-wing voucher and charter school activist whose numerous projects include the disastrous effort to spread charters in Detroit, which failed to increase student achievement while allowing charters to operate with little accountability or oversight.1 She also has an appalling record on civil rights, which indicates she will be a threat to LGBTQ children, especially transgender students, who face prejudice, harassment and bullying in schools and suffer from higher rates of depression and suicide than non-LGBTQ classmates. DeVos’ nomination for secretary of education is unacceptable, but the only way to block her nomination is if Senate Democrats push back with every tool at their disposal. Can you help make sure they act?

Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running. Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit. Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates. Democrats are a WMD, literally. Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall. |

User ID: 70736097 United States 01/20/2017 07:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Name the major city school system that has a track record of excellence. Not one school, but a public school system in a major city that actually works. I can point to a number of what you'd call "private" schools (we call them charter schools here) that take inner city kids and actually educate them and do it very, very well. Hell, name ANYTHING that government does better than the private sector. "Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell, where they already have it."

But she is also very involved in educational matters and is a strong anti-common core advocate. It saddens me to say that she *hates* this nomination. |
