DeVos is the BEST for Education?

[DaBoz]

 

I heard 1st grade was the toughest 7 years of davik's life.  Then he dropped out of school.

He found a keyboard and a place to put his other hand in his pants. He is one happy camper under all that hate.

millions of families move during the school year...

and the kids have to change schools...

it's tough on the kids...

most of them don't have a choice in the matter...



well, unless you're Barron.


but, if it's a special school...

nevermind

[D2D]

Obama's stagnant  at best economy has forced many families to move in search of any employment!

What does that have to do with making education better?

[Truman62]

Does Barron attend a "special" school for fragile, little, rich boys?

He does seem kinda thin and small...

I bet DVD likes them thin and fragile, don't you DVD?

Hey Donnie, better keep a close eye on Barron, DVD is hunting for him!

Are you part of the "Never DeVos" Campaign Hawks?
I mean your link is so very mean and unflattering.
It just throws her under the bus like she is trying to
make money at ANY cost for ANY reason with no
thought to the well-being or education of the children!
Is this truly how you want people to think of DeVos?
A money grubbing monster only interested in how
this can benefit her, her and only her?
That is just so capitalistic and egocentric of her. 
What do you think she is, a billionaire?

[D2D]

Of course, the only solution Democrats have is to throw more money at the problem and hope it goes away!

[duke_john]

dumbvik, just because you prey on kids doesn't mean anyone else here does.

[sine-qua-non]

So?

Diane Feinstein did the same thing using her position to funnel
State contracts to her husband for decades making them both filthy rich.

You can prosecute Trump after Feinstein is prosecuted, k

[jst-the-fax]

Davik, jw, hawkie and caserio are in full panic, that President Trump will be highly successful, be re-elected, double down on his success and a President Pence will follow with an additional 8 years. Of course...his success will mean fewer dims in Congress...but more freedom for the American people.

This is from Wikepedia... It does appear that Detroit schools could do better.

In 2007, Education Week published study that claimed that Detroit Public School's graduation rate was 24.9%.[26] Groups including state and local officials said that the study failed to take into account high school students who leave the district for charter schools, other school districts or who move out of the area. Detroit Public Schools claim that in 2005–2006 the graduation rate was 68 percent and expected it to hold constant in 2006–2007.[27][28][29] On February 14, 2009, the Detroit Free Press reported that United States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan had concern over the quality of education Detroit children were receiving. A spokesman later stated that Duncan had no specific plans for Detroit. The students in Detroit's public schools perennially score at the bottom compared to other large urban school systems.[30]

Cass Technical High School, Renaissance High School, and Detroit School of Arts rank highly both statewide and nationally. However, at many schools some students still do not meet adequate yearly academic progress requirements.[31] Students that fail to meet those requirements struggle in both language and mathematics.

A team of DPS students from Western International High School and Murray-Wright High School took second place out of 552 teams from 25 countries in a robotics competition in Atlanta, Georgia. DPS students, most notably Bates Academy students, did well at the 42nd annual Academic Olympics in Eatonton, Georgia, winning many honors. The Duffield elementary and middle school chess teams both finished first in the 2007 statewide competition, and performed well in the national competition. At a previous Annual National Academic Games Olympics, DPS students won 25 individual and 20 team first place awards.[32][33]

Charter schools[edit]

Detroit has a public charter school system with about 54,000 Detroit students (2009–10).[34] When charter school and Detroit Public Schools enrollments are combined, the total number of children in public schools in Detroit has increased. If growth trends continue, Detroit's charter schools enrollment will outpace the Detroit Public Schools by 2015.[34] Officials at the Detroit Public Schools and Detroit Federation of Teachers oppose the expansion of charter schools. A previous plan for 15 new charter high schools was scuttled.[citation needed]

The Thompson Educational Foundation financed a new University Preparatory Academy High School, and provides yearly scholarships on condition of meeting student performance goals. Follow up studies of the University Prep Academy class of 2007 shows that at least 90% went on to college, 83% of those who attended a four-year university re-enrolled for a second year, and 57% of those who attended a two-year college re-enrolled for a second year, beating national re-enrollment averages.[35] However, these scores are below high performing DHS schools with selective enrollment such as Bates Academy, Burton International and Renaissance High School.[citation needed]

There have been significant calls for the Detroit Public Schools to cooperate more with charters, including renting unused schools to charters. In May 2008, the DPS board renewed contracts with six charter schools for two years. DPS leases some closed school buildings to charter school operators.[36]
