Don't misunderstand me: I work in the education system and I fear that my job will be irreparably damaged by this idiot. But ending the common core is not a bad thing.

while those who know little about it (Arne Duncan among others) think they know how to fix that with which they have no knowledge.

Hmmm... a little like Trump being president...

DeVos isn't interested in fixing anything she is interested in MAKING MONEY she will funnel money to herself and her friends by privatizing the school systems. First she will start with the "voucher" crap and start her dismantling of the school system. Just ask Michigan: http://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2016/11/betsy_devos_could_destroy_publ.html
