Obama & DeVos: Education Reform Based on ‘Segronomics’ is Doomed to Fail

In part four, Noliwe Rooks says data reveals no educational benefit from the billions of stimulus funding poured into schools by the Obama administration and school vouchers championed by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos

Thanks for this. Corporate Media fails us.

Told you so. School vouchers don't work period. This isn't a quick fix it will take time and investment to fix public education. We really need an education secretary who has a background in education, unlike our current one Betsy de Vos.

Thank you for looking into and challenging anyone who is in office and testing what they promise no matter who is president.

Let this serve as a lesson to all the private/charter/voucher privatization idiots that are poor and think this is a good of the commons are NEVER in the interest of the poor and marginalized

How important are vouchers right now? Protecting our kids' safety is the most important. All kids of all colors, rich or poor, in all neighborhood public schools is what matters! INSTALL METAL DETECTORS, HIRE SECURITY GUARDS, PANIC BUTTONS FOR ALL CLASSROOMS WITH COPS PATROLLING AROUND THE PERIMETERS. In other words implement the same protections used in every public courthouse & all government buildings and all airports NOW. I am a former teacher, arming teachers is the dumbest idea I've ever heard! If it is so great then arm judges, congress & president. Do not let one more school shooting occur while our attention is diverted - this is what matters now!
