Betsy DeVos

  • I'm pretty late to this, but can someone tell me why she is a good choice for Secretary of Education?

    Never been to a public school, never worried about student loans, has conflicting business interests, etc

    Though defending against grizzlies is important

  • I think the reason for the Betsy DeVos hatred is the fact that she supports at least some kind of Public Funding for Charter Schools. I have no problem with Charter Schools and the horror stories that one could find online are mostly from teachers union based sites.

    The grizzly bears remark is a non-issue but I'm not surprised it's getting so much attention.

    I noticed that the right is concerned that she isn't as anti Common Core as they think she should be and the left is angry that she's not more Pro Common Core. Almost laugh out loud funny but...

    So what I think is that if the education the kids is the most important aspect then why not help support school choice?

    The gripe I get from some Teachers Union Democrat friends is that it takes money away from the public schools and doesn't require as many regulations for the charter schools. I haven't been able to get a straight answer out of any of them what those requirements might possibly be. I would imagine that the public schools might be better off without them. But until I know exactly what the offending regulations are who can tell?

  • I really don't know how big of a deal people are making out of the grizzly thing, but it's funny.

    But your post didn't really touch on why she is or isn't qualified.

    And your eyes what would make her qualified?

    Or not qualified for that matter? Let's be frank the Democrats are going to hate anybody Trump puts up.

    I would like the Secretary of Education to have at least some experience with public schools.

    Oh really ANY experience in education, administration & curriculum for that matter.

    DeVos is not qualified in any way. She is being chosen to push forward the Republican agenda on charter schools.

    The bears remark may be a non-issue, but the appropriateness of guns in schools is definitely a big issue.

    If anyone went to a job interview and it went like this, does anyone think they'd actually get the job?

    Excellent debating skills. Apparently you can't think of anything substantial to say about why Devos should be the Secretary of Education.

    This mofo is a basement dwelling kid trolling the obscure parts of the Internet claiming to be an old man. You know any 60 year olds that troll the web? I sure as fuck don't. It's creepy as shit.

  • Breaking news, Trump's cabinet pick for department of agriculture never worked on a farm. Booooooooooo, lets smash the windows out of this building and light something on fire.

    It's not anything new. I would not have to go back far to find a cabinet pick with no experience other than being a career politician. How about Bills pick for Dept. Of agriculture? Law degree, career politician.

  • If Trump is who he is in real life, I'm sure getting rid of someone that isn't performing wouldn't bother him in the bit

    So... you're saying you have to go back almost 20 years then? That's quite a while.
