Republicans officially win the award for the most vile human beings on the planet. Absolute hypocrites, corrupt, greedy, immoral, and traitors to this country.
I wish just once you would back up your comments. You love to use the term traitors, hypocrites, currupt, etc and generalizing about all Republicans, but asked over and over, you never answer anyone with real answers.
Around 90% of schools are public, I haven't heard any proposals to address their problems. She needs to have more solutions than charter schools many of which are also failing.
for the most part, charter schools are doing very well. There are exceptions to every rule you know or do you??

Many charter schools skim off the top students, leaving the more difficult to educate students behind. Even at that, charter school failures are too numerous to ignore.
"According to a federal report, between 2000 and 2014 2,378 charter schools were closed in the United States.
"The 1993 state law permitting charter schools was not brought on by academic or financial crisis in Detroit — those would come later — but by a free-market-inclined governor, John Engler. "
"Michigan leapt at the promise of charter schools 23 years ago, betting big that choice and competition would improve public schools. It got competition, and chaos."
"Detroit schools have long been in decline academically and financially. But over the past five years, divisive politics and educational ideology and a scramble for money have combined to produced a public education fiasco that is perhaps unparalleled in the United States."
It looks like the repubs have learned to play by the same rules the dems have used.
If you don't like the way things are going, change the rules.
Good for them!
Maybe some day the dems will learn that wren they are in charge and change the rules, the repubs will play the same game.
Turnabout is fair play.
yup. and this time the dems have no power to stop anything.

“We took some unprecedented actions today due to the unprecedented obstruction on the part of our colleagues,” Hatch said in a statement. “Republicans on this committee showed up to do our jobs. Yesterday, rather than accept anything less than their desired outcome, our Democrat colleagues chose to cower in the hallway and hold a press conference.”
So what is she doing here, just promoting charter schools or does she develop national policy regarding public schools.
"So what is she doing here"
Hopefully getting rid of the entire agency.
Evaluate every program and if some are still needed keep them but, we do NOT need an entire Agency to carry them out.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
"The budget provides $69.4 BILLION Budget in discretionary funding for the Department of Education in 2017, an increase of $1.3 billion. The Budget also proposes $139.t BILLION billion in new mandatory spending over 10 years"
IMO, MOST of that money is wasted and is NOT worth borrowing the money for it.
