Betsy Devos Involvement In Education: A Case Study

122 Words1 Page

"But if [Betsy DeVos] were a teacher correcting a student's grammar the teacher would be fired". Well, if we restrict ourselves only to the example of her writing shown above, yes, she would be fired. Betsy's syntax is poor.

Moreover, she would not be hired in the first place. She has a bachelor's degree in business administration and political science. Plus, there is no evidence she received teaching credentials or ever took courses in Education.

Her involvement in Education has been on the political stage and not in the schools.

However, the fundamental problem is her lack of administrative proficiency in Education. Her lack of insight and actual working participation makes it doubtful that she is competent to be Secretary of Education.

In the book How College Works, authors Daniel Chambliss and Christopher Takacs claim, “As state support has eroded, and as more students attend college in an increasingly desperate attempt to find viable jobs, the price to students of attending an institution of higher education has gone up, especially at more selective institutions” (172).

  • Review Of Diane Ravitch's The Troubled Crusade: American Education

    1982 Words  | 8 Pages

    In the book, The Troubled Crusade: American Education 1945-1980 by Diane Ravitch it shows the fight to have equality in education especially in the chapters of Race and Education: The Brown Decision and Race and Education: Social Science and Law. Ravitch shows the injustice in which blacks were treated and the segregated system seemed impossible to escape, especially in the South. Ravitch shows the change in the idea of “color-blindness” (that all are equal despite race, religion, color, etc.) and how that was the goal until the pursuit for “color-blindness” was considered to be “racism in a new form” (p. 114). Ravitch explores the policy transformation from a “color-blindness” policy to a “color-consciousness” policy which were used when implemented

  • Should Athletes Be Overpaid Research Paper

    There is a lot of budget issues that make it hard on her to provide for her students so she uses her own money which isn’t a lot to provide supplies. She doesn’t just get regular supplies for her students, she buys them food, clothing, toothbrushes, and combs. She even fostered two of her students because they had nowhere else to stay, it was supposed to be for only a few days but she ended up keeping them for six months and she is still fostering them (Doody 1). This just shows us how much of an impact teachers are to students, and how they work so hard to help others even when they don’t have much to give back. Now why shouldn’t our teachers/professors not get paid millions of dollars, when all they do is give back to our community?

    Dear Dr. Cathleen Moore and the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, I would like to be considered for your Graduate Teaching Assistant position that was posted on 10/31/2017. I believe that I would be a great fit for this position due to my experiences as a teacher and my academic background in psychology. One reason I would be a great fit for this position is because I once held what seems to be a nearly identical position in college. At Southern Illinois University (SIU), I served as an undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Psychology under the tutelage of Dr. Meera Komarraju. In this position, I led a discussion section for a similar number of students that were mostly at the freshmen and sophomore level.
