Should Betsy DeVos be confirmed as Secretary of Education?

my2hands

I know there are some people in here that work in the education field, I know at least 1 is a teacher. First I would like to thank you, you are appreciated.

What ate your thoughts on Devos?

Teachers hate her as she wants to break up the union.

I didn't ask you. I'm asking people that actually work in the field. I'm sure they appreciate you painting them with such a broad brush, assuming they are all the same and you know what they think.

Then ignore it and don't whine.

Not a perfect candidate but it is looking like she wants to push to reduce the federal role in education. Get rid of common core.

So you think buying cabinet positions while having no experience with public education, the very basis of the job in question is OK. I bet you have no children in public schools neither. Wonderful.

"Experience" has got us into this mess. I fully embrace someone that has new ideas for reducing the federal government.

Your last President didn't have "experience", it didn't seem to bother you much.

How do you think Ambassadors are chosen? They buy in, that's why they were told to come home.

Good God, man. You're ridiculous.

Most people, when they are first elected president, don't have "experience" being president. They are generally assessed on other relevant experience. Of which DeVos has none.

Who's whining? Is that the new right wing word of the week? Lol

I think educators are working class heroes that should be applauded, and I just happen to value their opinion on this. That is why I asked specifically for their feedback.

Do you wake up with headaches every morning from being so round-the-clock miserable?

My wife and I are educators and absolutely hate this pick. She has zero experience in public school; a lot of people are really afraid of what she is going to do.
this is why we do not like her as a candidate:
"A Michigan billionaire and major Republican donor, she has spent three decades using her wealth and political clout to advocate for alternatives to public schools, particularly taxpayer-funded vouchers to help parents pay tuition for private and religious schools. She also has advocated for a loosely regulated variety of charter schools."

No

As an educator, I am open minded to alternate schooling, if families have a different public option besides public school that is fine with me. However, I am deeply concerned with her knowledge base and experience. There are most likely other conservative educator's who are better for the position.

I wake up everyday with the mission to improve my life, it is working well. I smile a lot, so should you.

I will continue to come here trying to show all of you that less is more.

It is tough, but we will get there.
