Betsy DeVos says she was "bored all the way through" her PRIVATE high school.

[pnwmom]

And yet, never having attended a public school, or having sent her kids to one, or taught in one, she's sure that all the best education is going on in private schools.

She doesn't have a clue about public schools. And if she's such a proponent of technology, she ought to know that public schools do use technology these days. And she should be able to figure out that only thing that's keeping public schools from using it even more is funding -- the funding she wants to shift over to private schools.

I mean, I was bored all the way through high school. I can only imagine how much more boring it is today, when you check all of those new technologies at the door and go sit in rows of desks and listen to somebody talk at you for 30 or 40 minutes. Can you imagine sitting through an indifferent lecture when you know there are programs that make learning fun, resources that make information instantly accessible? I can’t.

1. She apparently did not listen to her English teacher

they day they discussed plagiarism.

2. She has confused her inability to grasp the subject matter of her classes with boredom.

3. I'm sorry her fancy school had teachers who gave indifferent lectures.

It kind of sounds as if she wants to get rid of teachers.

5. She thinks they're overpaid, I read somewhere. n/t

7. My father was a career teacher in Michigan. He was not overpaid.

Most of my growing up, he had to take extra jobs in the summer to help make ends meet or to finish off his graduate degree. He was a coach, too, so he taught summer recreation and tennis for many years. He was lucky that he got out in time to have a comfortable retirement (well deserved), but even so, Snyder came along and taxed his pension. Michigan teachers are not overpaid and Betsy DeVos must know this, but she doesn't care.

4. Well, we are bored with you now.

6. Let's hear what she has to say about Calvin College!

Probably bored to tears there, too. It's day-in and day-out predestination there. No number of good deeds will save your miserable soul from an eternity of torture in Hell's fire. Only those selected at birth go to heaven.

Poor Betsy. Poor, poor Betsy! But that allows her to do whatever evil she wants in life. No consequences that weren't already preordained. WOOPEEEEEEE!

Reject this sorry sack of shit!
