The Pros And Cons Of Betsy Devos

In spite of a scorched-earth campaign by Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Neil Gorsuch has been confirmed to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Antonin Scalia’s untimely death last year. Gorsuch’s nomination was one of the most significant actions of the Trump presidency so far, and his confirmation will now have profound implications for our nation over the next several decades. Here are four reasons why American citizens—especially Evangelical conservatives—should consider Gorsuch’s confirmation a great victory and why he might be better even than Scalia, whose place on the bench he would take. 1.

Betsy’s Philanthropy Work-Financial Giving Betsy is among the USA philanthropists I know. I would argue that these philanthropic deeds are due to her affluent family, and her passion to change the education system. She donates finances towards reforming the education sector and even political campaigns. Her philanthropy started after the realization that not all children in America have the right to quality educational, and most parents could not choose where to school their kids. It’s from this point that Dick and Betsy Foundation started, and low income parents received scholarships for their children.

The author admits that some of these school changes lead to a better education for citizens. All in all the process of states paying for education is a complex one that involves many factors for each state to preserve the money that they has been provided by

While opposition has raised concerns about the senator 's health, the Sanders campaign recently put all allegations to rest. In a recently released physical examination, Doctor Brian P. Monahan verified that “[Sanders] is in overall very good health and [can be] active in his professional work...without limitation.” Compared to Hillary Clinton’s latent post-concussion syndrome (Neurologist Dr. Daniel Kassicieh), Jeb Bush’s advanced colon polyps and Marco Rubio’s hyperhidrosis, Bernie Sanders is the epitome of health. Furthermore, age and medical conditions have never limited a presidential candidate in the past. One of our country 's most beloved leaders John F. Kennedy suffered from Addison’s disease—a life threatening and incurable

(DeVos) The scripted speech and free response questions presented over the three hour time period allowed DeVos to showcase her political agenda and elaborate on various issues brought up by the committee such as her personal encouragement of voucher programs along with controversial donations made by her family both immediate and extended. DeVos has long lobbied for states to allow parents to use public funding to pay for private school tuition. As secretary, she said, she would encourage states to create voucher programs - but try to not impose them. “I would hope I could convince you all of the

During the Obama administration, the Appointee for the department of education did not support for-profit colleges but as for the new appointee she is in favor of it. She believes that nothing is free and does not believe in public education. As for schools k-12, her idea is based on a plan called “tax credit scholarships (Kamenetz).” Under this plan, companies will either balance or cancel out tax responsibility, and will offer scholarships to students so they can attend private schools, but the downside of this plan is that 70% of these scholarships go to religious schools (Kamenetz). DeVos will aim make more of private, virtual, religious, and for-profit schools, and make them beneficial, and will leave it up to the states on how they want to expand.

School Vouchers and the Establishment Clause In the first few chapters of Under God: Religious Faith and Liberal Democracy Michael J. Perry explores the basic definition of the Establishment Clause of the Constitution of the United States and what he believes is a violation of it. He discusses issues such as same-sex marriage, abortion, and school vouchers, the latter of which will be our focus. Perry’s conclusion, that school vouchers for religious schools do not necessarily violate the Establishment Clause seems to be a valid one but his dismissal of Justice O’Connor’s “direct/indirect distinction” is troubling, as this distinction is in fact important to the constitutionality of school vouchers (Perry). The Establishment Clause is a section

This money could be used somewhere else such as art or music programs. Many school are eliminating art programs because of the lack of money. Money can also be used to hire more teachers, so class sizes can be decreased in

It could result in your kids receiving better grades, and this is thanks to the sacrifice they have to make. When a charter school is opening up, it will only be

schools should be funded more money so the kids have better learning technology and are able to do the extracurricular activities they want to do. The first change needed to be made is to raise the taxes in order to increase the income to the schools funding.

School Funding Inequality “One of the most powerful tools for empowering individuals and communities is making certain that any individual who wants to receive a quality education can do so” (Christine Gregoire). Everyone deserves an equal education regardless of where they live or who their parents are. Children are facing the consequences of decisions they can’t make. The current way public schools are being funded is not working effectively, students are suffering and there needs to be a change.

The school district of Pennsylvania is the first district to have a four day week for school. Some people are thrilled and amazed that school is a four day week, but kids will love that to happen. I believe that school should be a four day week because schools will save more money and they would have kids that could do better in school when they have a day off to finish anything they are falling behind in. I persuade you to have schools for four days a week. First of all, kids have that day to be with their family that works every single day and that they are not in the house when they got home from school.

Charter Schools are publicly funded independent private schools established by teachers, parents, or community groups, under the terms of a charter with a local or national authority. Charter Schools are public schools of choice, meaning that families chose them for their kids. Also teachers who work at a charter school usually fall under more flexible certification requirements than other public school teachers. Charter schools are often similar to magnet schools they often offer special programs such as Math, Engineering, and Environmental science. Also if The Charter school you are trying to enroll in gets too popular they will sometimes use a lottery system which will fill in the vacancies.

There is a lot of benefits from increasing public school funding. Also, there are also negative aspects of this situation. “25% of taxpayers money goes to education” (policy basis , 5) .Taking more of tax payers money

I want to congratulate you on completion of your first year as the Secretary of Education of the United States of America. I have not agreed with all of the decisions you have made in one short year, however, I promise I will not complain about your actions, I will simply give you one very important suggestion that could really help the students in this country. As I am sure you have learned, closing the achievement gap is one of the most important tasks leaders in education are currently facing. Closing the achievement gap cannot be fixed by small changes in a short period of time which is why the first step to closing this gap is to stop evaluating schools and students based on proficiency and start using the growth system of measurement.
