[quote=flu]Lol… Looks neither sides like here. Perfect! She’s for voucher and supported common core…. Lol. But maybe you can still have it both ways… Go to a charter school that ain’t teaching common core.
Edit: noticed she’s also a billionaire elite. I bet all her kids go to ivy’s.
But Trump is also already drawing fire from both sides of the political spectrum for his pick. The largest teacher’s union in the country slammed DeVos within an hour of the announcement for her advocacy of charter schools and school voucher programs, while conservatives quickly pointed out DeVos’ association with groups supporting the Common Core education standards, which Trump has vowed to nix.
DeVos chairs the American Federation for Children, a group that promotes charter school education, and also served on the board of the Foundation for Excellence in Education, a group led by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush — one of Trump’s GOP primary opponents — which promoted both school choice and the Common Core education standards. [/quote]I have responded to the Trump campaign’s request for comment on this issue several times. I am against vouchers and explained to them in detail why they will not fly in CA. There will be too much public opposition to it and the CEA will block it until the cows come home. I have no opinion about common core. I believe my youngest kid had the common core curriculum in most of their public K-12 education.
