Betsy DeVos

And there's this tweet.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-attack-u-s-schools-teachers-arent-having-it/

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos used a picture available on Shutterstock as an example of bad teaching practice in U.S. schools today — and teachers are accusing her of misrepresenting their classrooms.DeVos on Tuesday published a tweet that said classrooms look the same as they did many years ago, and she used “then” and “now” photos to underscore her often-stated contention that public schools in the United States have not innovated since the Industrial Revolution more than a century ago (see the tweet below). The “now” picture is available, royalty-free, on Shutterstock.com; it is the first picture that appears under the search term “classroom.”

Can someone link her list of ways to innovate that she is suggesting to teachers and schools?
 
suprrised no one's posted one of those parkland videos in response to what schools look like?
 
You know, in her confirmation hearings she came off so ignorant and uninformed, it was shocking to see someone go in front of the Senate to take questions when it was clear they hadn't even done the basic homework to prepare. Now she's willing to go on 60 Minutes and take questions, apparently having learned nothing. It seems like she practiced how to interview, how to come off likable - it's clear there that she's trying, yet she's still just as ignorant on basic issues regarding public schools.

It is like Trump, not only ignorance but a total lack of interest in learning, and a belief that you know it all and any criticism must be unfair.

Great quality in the Secretary of Education.

She is woefully unqualified, and it's been extremely obvious from the jump.
 
Boats really make the best metaphors. The Titanic, Bismark, now the DeVos (aka Seaquest).

 
they say the two best days of your 10th boat are the day you buy it and the day it gets kinda-vandalized
 
They found some video footage of the vandals and one of them looks Antifa MS-13 illegal.
