Devos: They Made Her Life a "Living Hell"

DeVos' mission to teach students has been unclear. From interviews and previous work, it seems that she believes in:

School choice: providing all students equal access to a high-quality education
Less government interference in schools: Allowing teachers to innovate and create without being constrained by regulations.

Beyond that, her statements have not been definitive.

Her stock is most likely implying her rich history of donating and working with educational causes.

She was the chair of the pro-school-choice advocacy group American Federation for Children which desired allow public school money to go to private school education (vouchers, etc.) She also worked hard to spread charter schools throughout Michigan.
She lobbies for the idea of a "free-market" education which focuses expanding private/charter schools. The focus in on the money and tuition and not on curriculum or resources.

However, this does not make her immune from criticism or experienced in the areas in which she criticizes. Her mission appears to be for school choice which is at odds with public schools. So, when she enters a public school, it is not surprising that they aren't happy.

3 Reasons Teachers Give Homework

Homework. Kids & parents alike get stressed out just thinking about it. It is the catalyst of fights, a source of frustration and is responsible for countless broken pencils and snapped crayons. If everyone hates it so much, why does it exist? Why are teachers so cruel as to foist homework on children when it makes everyone furious? Don't worry...there are reasons. Homework is there for a few purposes: To be a bridge between school & hom e: It keeps parents informed as to what their child is learning at school.

In turn, the parents can speak to the teachers with authority. Allow for reflection : Because there is no time limit for that math worksheet, children can take as long as they want. It allows them to think slowly, reflect on their work and double-check what t...

Where is the Respect?: 3 Reasons Teaching Is Not Taken Seriously

Teachers are seen as some kind of martyrs in society. There is this odd amount of condescending respect for teachers. Most conversations go like this: Person: What do you do? Teacher: I'm a teacher Person: Aw...that's awesome. How fun... But this is the disconnect. The public appreciates teachers but sees them as simplistic service workers who have fun jobs. They remember their own teachers and recall the basics of a school day and extrapolate from that. How could teaching be that hard, my own teacher barely did anything. And there comes the disrespect in society. Teachers suddenly become this overprivileged group that is mocked in the public sphere for being greedy or lazy or both. There are three reasons for this disconnect in society: 1. A Typical Teacher's Work Load is Not Understood Most people have attended school and had a teacher. They know that their teacher stood at the front of the room, had them read from books, assigned homework and gave grades. It ...

4 Cons of Common Core

My previous post detailed the strengths of Common Core . While there are a lot of great parts of Common Core, it is not a perfect system. Here are the 4 cons of Common Core: 1. It's a big change: Many teachers have been constructing curriculum and instructing on content tied to state standards. Introducing such a big change all of a sudden requires a lot of readjustment. Veteran teachers may not be willing or able to shift their teaching styles so quickly, especially if they have seen results with the state standards way of teaching. 2. Standards are not specific: As shown before, the standards go from being very clear to being more broadly written. The point is to ask more questions and test more skills. However, when you are teaching, it feels daunting to address every part of the standard. It is difficult for teachers to deconstruct what is being asked and feel confident that their students met all parts of the standard. 3. Expensive: The Common Core standards don...
