Darn, with we had watched it, but we were involved in a more relaxed TV program, the picking of March Madness. I love to read CD when all the libs come out against someone they don't agree with, especially when they can't stand a person who might be for things like school choice and opposed to the teachers union. Isn't it too bad so many have to judge someone by the way they handle themselves when being interviewed. Some people are not comfortable in front of the cameras Have any of you bashers thought about that? I am not saying she did a good or bad job, I didn't watch as I said, but I do think name calling and saying she is stupid, etc is way over the top.
Education is largely a LOCAL issue, controlled, and funded largely through real estate, and property taxes. Any other issues should be addressed at the State level if the locals can't address them. The Federal Dept. of Ed is redundant, unnecessary, and should be abolished.
totally agree with you on this. Schools are something cities or maybe even states should control What works in one state could be a disaster in another. rural regions and urban regions have totally different concerns.
Maybe somebody will have the answer to that right after they have the answer to what Jared and Ivanka are being paid to do, lol.
Let's not get sidetracked into what Jared's up to (hint: hustling suckers for family real estate scams) or Ivanka (hint: Ambassador to South Korea) either for that matter.
What is this DeVos up to?
She's been involved in education on the national level for a year, and on the Michigan level for years before that, pushing vouchers the whole time.
This is her big shot and she can't come up with a coherent answer let alone any evidence that vouchers improve educational outcomes?

I'm not sure what you are trying to say. Even within the same county, school districts can be very different in their approach. There is no mandate that require every school in America to operate in the exact same way.
Our public education system is royally messed up. Everyone agrees, yet only Betsy DeVos is approaching it with a fresh, new attitude. Libs don't want to make any changes except throw more money at a system that is failing our children.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Democrats keep doing the same thing over and over...that tells you everything you need to know.
All of the data, even the data that DeVos herself cites, shows that Michigan’s public schools have gotten WORSE since the introduction of school choice and charter schools. I object to DeVos pushing a plan that has been shown empirically not to work.

The ability to communicate effectively is an integral part of the job as Secretary of Education, or ANY position of executive leadership. Having a certain ideology is not an automatic qualification for a serious position like a cabinet secretary, except under Trump. This interview only reaffirms the naked truth about her lack of executive experience and qualification, a truth you and your ilk cannot deny so you put up smoke screens like “stop attacking her ideology, you’re so mean” BS. No one is buying your BS excuse for DeVos.
She is pro school choice and anti teachers union. That is really the issue of why the left hates her.
Whether she is smart or not is not relevant. Its her ideology.
She's a bible thumping unqualified moron who's job was bought for her by her and her slimball brother Eric Prince of Blackwater infamy. As for her ideology, it's self ****ing serving and belongs as far away from public schools as possible.
The NEA was setup to administer federal school regulations and civil rights issues. I agree we do not need it.
Let the local governments collect the taxes and then use vouchers to create a free market. Get the government out of the teaching end of it. They can decide salaries and benefits based on the private sector. Not because of union influence.
This is incorrect.
