Betsy DeVos Hearing
My first reaction while reading this article was how annoyed politicians make me. They always know exactly how to get around a question without really answering it. Having said that, I understand that they don't want to take a definite position on a certain matter as it may depend on that issue within a certain state or whatever the case may be. But still, politicians and members within governments are supposed to be there because they supposedly have taken a stance on one side of an issue. But oh well, that's politics.
Now to respond to the actual issues being discussed in the article. Like most of the questioners, I agree strongly that the government is kind of screwing up the education system. It's all about money and how to make more... which if fine, our country needs money... however fairness and quality in schools should be the main focus. As a taxpayer I would also like to know that my money is going to be used for good, and not just given to people that already have a lot of money. It's just frustrating.
