As a retired educator I find the appointment of a non-educator to be an insult to the teaching profession. She knows nothing about public school policy. The majority of kids will be attending public schools. She is not concerned about improving public education. Her main goal is to provide vouchers to private schools and take money away from the public schools. She is a she-demon.

100% correct.

A change you can believe in.
Lets see if students can read, write and count to ten after eight years.

Not hardly jap. I know more about public education and policy than she does. Taking badly needed funds from public education to benefit a few will not improve failing schools. She has expressed her displeasure with public education on numerous occasions. Since the majority of kids go to public schools, it makes no sense to have someone over education that have a disdain for public education. I received an excellent education in public school, as did my wife and children. It gave me the foundation I needed to be successful in all future endeavors.

Speedy, the thing about it is that most everyone here in these blogs went to a public school and received a public education. All this private business is completely dependant upon $$$ and how serious the instructor takes his or her job. Real talk. This Betsy Devos voted FOR DISCRIMINATION of ethnicities (blacks) back in the day. Yeah, she voted to keep the same black descendants they shippped over here from receiving the same education as whites. FACT. So, this speaks volumes about bothTrump's and Devos's true agendas. They're both only for the truly PRIVILEGED...just like the both of them. They don't believe in extending opportunity in lieu of reasonable experience. She honestly knows nothing about education but, we must also consider the messenger for this position.

When she begins lobbying for decreasing the funding of public schools, we're in perfect position to drop the 'I told you so' just like Trump is hoping to with his Muslim ban. Bets on!!!
