Trump chose Betsy DeVos, a strong charter school advocate

Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) was one of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ biggest critics during her confirmation hearing. One major point of contention Franken had with DeVos was her support for a voucher system for middle-class families. This, in part, led him to claim that DeVos was “fundamentally unqualified to lead the Education Department.” ... However, information has surfaced that shows Franken isn’t opposed to school choice at all — at least not when it comes to his own fam ...

Dems wasted their time for the 24 hours against her. I'd also like to know since when is a filibuster a "talkathon?" It was always a filibuster before. They blocked the voting process yesterday and spoke all night and into this morning before the vote.Again, DeVos made it with VP Pence's vote to break the tie. i find the Dems to be quite disgusting but at least they're showing their true colors, backed by the Teacher's Unions. Too bad they care more for the votes instea ...

"Look at us. God has given to us. I can fix this. All you have to do is be like me.' You can understand how you might think that way, if you grew up here," Boote says later, as we take one final glance at the mansion over its tall, iron gate. "If you come from the small, sheltered, privileged environment of Holland, you are most likely going to have a very limited worldview—including how to fix education." ...

The Boston Tea Party in December 1773 threw the East India Company's tea overboard. The Republican Tea Party in August 2011 threw America overboard. Only in Congress, with its rules for minority rule, can a minority of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives impose its havoc on the American people there, then on the Senate side and on Obama Leaving aside the psychiatric question of why a clutch of Republican Tea Partiers, many of them freshmen, terrify the veteran Repu ...

as more and more conservatives demand that lefties live up to their rhetoric. Last night, Tucker Carlson provided us an excellent example of the tactic... Last night’s episode of the show featured one of the best ever demolitions of a smug progressive. J.

This may have some relation to his former work for Catholic charities ...

reasons! Actor and immigration activist George Clooney will move to Los Angeles with his wife Amal and newborn twins Ella and Alexander due to security concerns at his England estate, according to a report.

John Bolton: The war on terror is not over. Al Qaeda has not been defeated. The struggle is spreading and if we don’t face up to that reality we’re going to have another attack on an American embassy that will be even more successful from the terrorist point of view. … We have no strategy! That’s why I’ve been so concerned that the whole sweep from the Atlantic coast of West Africa, through the Middle East, all the way over to Pakistan is deteriorating from the perspective ...

They are so confused. One day they say he's a dictator, an emporor, takes too much action. The next day they say he's weak, never does anything.

I am currently looking into returning to school like so many other MTs out there. There are programs where you can get an Associates Degree in Healthcare Management (basically medical records), which I am really not interested in because, as I see it, most hospitals are trying to cut down their medical records departments to as slim of staff as possible, plus with the integration of EMR, I just do not see this being a lucrative field. IF, big big IF here, I were to enter into this pr ...

I made sure that I taught my son to read, add and subtract before he began kindergarten. I talked to the principal at the public school to see if they can accommodate him or if she thought I should look in to public school. She assured me that they wanted my son at thier school and that they would be sure to keep him busy and learning. So far, he has learned nothing. They do not have him reading. They only have him identifying letters, which is something my 2-year-o ...

It is that time again. School is about to begin and we will be sending our children into the classroom to be with educators who we think are safe for our children to be around. Please, please, please, listen to your children. If they feel uneasy about a teacher/situation, listen; and do something about it!

My daughter is 9 and is in her last year at the local elementary school. Next year she will go to the intermediate school and my plan is for her to ride the bus. There are several girls on my street that go to the intermediate school and two of them visited me yesterday after school when the mom of one of them was running late getting home (since I work from home, they know I don't mind watching the kids for a little bit from time to time). So the two girls ask me for advice about a ...

Looking into going back to school, but trying to decide which career choice to make, although only one is probably optional at tihs point as I have to work while going. Anyway, I have filled out my FAFSA for one school and it was sent, but I am not registered as of yet. Now I want to fill out another FAFSA for the other school that I will probably end up going to, but a friend of mine told me I can't fill out more than one FAFSA for different schools. Is this correct? I don't thi ...
