I think my views will be better received here than they were with my cousin who is an unemployed teacher at the time (her choice to leave her job, so her unemployment although sucks it's 100% on her)
was Ms DeVos the best person for the job? probably not
my thoughts:
-cut the national education budget save $400/year on fed taxes
-state raises ed taxes $200, local school raises taxes $200 i'm paying the same but it's staying local
NEXT
-local school is blowing money on stupid stuff (internet on school buses, you laugh but local school wants it and they probably will do it)
-now you go to the school board meeting and say "cut the wasteful spending"
-they don't
-join the school board and make some changes
so in the end cut the cord on the national education system except to make the certain standards all states must adhere to (teaching english, US History, math, throw in some life skills) and bring the power home teaching kids in rural alaska is way different than what is needed in DC
