So, let’s look back at the year in education, think about the future, and discuss in the comments. United States Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos recently completed her “Rethink School” tour, which was met with mixed reception. In Casper, Wyoming, DeVos called school a “mundane malaise.” Previously, DeVos has referred to public schools as a “dead end.” It seems that more so than simply being inexperienced, DeVos is an adamant foe of public education. Unfortunately, her message and methodology seem flawed, with an incorrect presumption that public schools can’t – or won’t – offer personalized learning. Zais, a former Superintendent of Education in South Carolina, is a vehement opponent of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.
