Betsy DeVos hearing

As I am reading through this my first and continual thought is that she doesn't have a clue to what she is doing. She may have worked with education but definitely not the kind that she would be doing if she were to be confirmed. There are very big gaps in her knowledge and what she would be expected to do. So to me this doesn't inspire confidence in her or her possible methods. Reading over the transcript given I noticed that there seemed to be a few times where she didn't answer the question presented that she seemed to dodge it and try answering something else, or that she didn't know completely what something was like the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) Because of it only gave half answers until she was asked again later and had completely changed her answer on it saying she hadn't understood what it was when they asked earlier.
This is not the type of person we would want in our government because they don't understand what our needs are and how to properly take care of things.

In case you wanted to read the hearing portion I did here is a link to the page it was on.

About Me

This is McKenna's insane life where everything happens, and we save the world daily before lunch, and twice on Mondays.

Well most of the time. Realistically I just do homework, work and imagine what life would be like if it were one of my books that I love so much. I am a very avid reader and love doing just about anything creative or artistic. That goes from reading to drawing to writing my own stories. If you want to know more about anything I have posted feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer any questions or concerns you might have. Enjoy the posts and pictures that are added. (Just for a bit of comic relief, because who doesn't need that.)
