“A really good goal for a Secretary of Education would be to assure that every kid in America gets the education evident in the Parkland students.”

I agree, but DeVos doesn’t seem to believe public schools turn out highly intelligent students like the Parkland students. Her focus seems to be on how to use public funding to enrich her buddies via charter schools run by private companies. We tried that here in my Middle GA city years ago. Edison received a multi-million dollar contract to ”transform” a struggling public school. The company had promised to increase student test scores. The venture was a major fail. The city ended the contract and gave Edison the boot in less than two years.
