It has been proposed (not by me) that the current administration feels education is unimportant and undermines it. Discuss?

Well, I am embarrassed to be from the state which gave us a sec. of Education who has never been involved with public school but has only tried to replace them with charter schools...in spite of the fact that they have failed to perform as promised.

Betsy De Vos is there bc when Trump looked around at his billionaire comrades, she was the only one who liked dabbling in education...

...oh, and she is part of the Amway $...

@SomeMichGuy Have you seen the ads on tv for online home schooling, now available free in most states? Children who feel more comfortable at home can elect to have all their schooling online. What do you think of that option? (I see their commercial on tv all the time.)
@4meAndyou idk...if it results in people really knowing things, then good. It makes me wonder if it is too passive bc the computer is TV-like. Education is not a passive activity.

I have the same piece of paper from hs as many pol from Mich from about that time...but there is a vast gulf in what I learned and retained vs. what many others did...

...and if it results in socialization only through social media, prob not great.
