No, it shows that you are incapable of understanding that there are protocals on the East coast that you don't understand. Trump chose to ignore the protocols. You don't want to understand them, apparently.
I'm a Boomer. We were taught that how you present yourself says something about you. Trump's misspelled tweets with poor to bad grammar says something about him, that you might not understand. Betsy DeVos, who is the subject of this thread, went to the lesser of the two church-related colleges, run by her religion, that were local to her. She's not the brightest bulb on the string, but she has the most money.
You can compare school spending in a number of different ways, perhaps the most accurate is to measure it as a percent of GDP and when you compare it to other countries elementary and secondary education spending is lower than the OECD average.
"The percentage of GDP that the United States spent on elementary and secondary education (3.5 percent) was slightly lower than the OECD average (3.7 percent). Fifteen other countries also spent a lower percentage of GDP on elementary and secondary education than the OECD average of 3.7 percent. In contrast, 17 countries spent 3.7 percent or more of GDP on elementary and secondary education, including 9 countries that spent 4.0 percent or more. The United Kingdom spent the highest percentage (4.8 percent) of GDP on elementary and secondary education.

Were that still the case <bold> you'd not see boys pants around one's thighs, messed up hair being seen as good,2-3 day beards "stylish", you'd not see holes punched in every appendage and filled with steel not to mention gauges in ears bigger than I ever saw in a National Geographic magazine article on Ubangi warriors and let's not forget tattoos large enough to make the tattooed lady at the geek shows of old circus's blush with jealousy.
If presenting oneself meant anything to young people they wouldn't be dropping F-bombs among other vulgarities every time they speak like they're some kind of sailor on leave or a dock worker...
Try mentioning the "how you present yourself" thing to any of them and you'll most likely be told it's "racist,bigoted,sexist or a violation of their free speech rights" and too damn bad if you don't like it, "F-off"..

But it still says something about someone born at the beginning of the baby boom. It might mean nothing to you, but it says something to most Boomers.
Maybe to the uninformed. Look, "hon"... Try going on a job interview and deliberately misleading the interviewer by saying you graduated from Penn when you really graduated from Penn State, and it's a VERY different story.
Please don't confuse the locals' uninformed vernacular with the terms that are ACTUALLY used.
His degree is actually from Wharton. Read the commencement program.
Here's where you're getting confused. Penn offers a bachelor's degree in Economics, but it's not from Wharton. Wharton offers a bachelor's degree in Economics that has different requirements than the Economics bachelor's degree from Penn. They're two different things.
It's a shame you're from that area and still have NO clue of which you speak. /SMH
"Hon," Penn, Wharton, and Penn State grads work all over the US and indeed, all over the world. Penn State is NEVER referred to as Penn. NEVER. Penn and Wharton grads refer to themselves depending on which granted their degree.
In Trump's case, Wharton granted his degree. He earned Wharton's bachelor's degree in Economics. Other students will have earned Penn's bachelor's degree in Economics. They are not the same. They are two different degree programs, with different requirements.
PLEASE don't be obtuse.
I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania. You.are.wrong.

and this related to Betsy Devos' barely there interview how?
No, it shows that you are incapable of understanding that there are protocals on the East coast that you don't understand.
LOL... Just stop. As both Penn and Penn State are internationally known universities, there's no "special East coast" language code which refers to them any differently than does the rest of the world.
You're just making yourself look foolish, at this point.
It's already been pointed out to you via the Alumni's own website that even Penn State Alumni refer to themselves as EXACTLY that: Penn State Alumni, not Penn Alumni.

And yet you've chosen to continue making yourself look foolish with your 'Penn State is referred to as Penn' garbage?
