How much could Trump’s education secretary damage public schools? Just look at Detroit. Detroit schools help explain Betsy DeVos’ mission.

President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Betsy DeVos, a philanthropist and a strong supporter of school choice, as his education secretary. And although DeVos isn’t a household name, she could end up having a big impact on public school students across the country.
For evidence, just take a look at Detroit — a city where DeVos ’ influence shows how an expansion of charter schools without the proper oversight can hurt the quality of education for low-income students.
Throughout DeVos’ career as a school choice advocate, she has aggressively pushed for the expansion of charter schools. Although many charter schools across the country benefit low-income families seeking an alternative to public schools, educational equity advocates often raise concerns that a lack of accountability allows less effective charter schools to thrive. And DeVos has been at the forefront of efforts to push against this accountability.
DeVos sits on the board of the Great Lakes Education Project, which advocates for its education reform priorities in the Michigan state legislature. This group is responsible for pushing the legislature to end its plans for a Detroit commission to regulate charter schools.
Sixteen years ago, DeVos, and her husband, Dick DeVos, also pushed for a statewide ballot initiative to amend the state constitution so that tax money could go toward private school tuition. Although this effort didn’t succeed, charter schools in the area expanded anyway. The state lifted its cap on the number of charter schools. Twenty-three percent of Michigan students did not enroll in their home public school district in the fall of last year, which allows students to attend charter schools or public schools outside their community, with 10 percent of students attending charter schools. Detroit Public Schools Claims The State Is Violating Students’ Civil Rights In Federal Lawsuit
After months of public uproar over the poor condition of Detroit schools, Detroit Public Schools filed a federal… thinkprogress.org
Now, Detroit has the second largest share of students in charter schools, at 44 percent, behind New Orleans. Each year, nearly $1 billion of taxpayer money goes to charter schools, but oversight is very weak, according to a yearlong investigation by the Detroit Free Press released in August.
The investigation, which looked at 20 years of charter school records, found evidence of wasteful spending, schools with poor academic records that continue to enroll students for years, and school staff using their positions to profit off of deals for themselves or others. It also found that many charter schools run by for-profit companies did not disclose how they spend taxpayer money.
Some states make it clear that charter authorizers are supposed to provide oversight and accountability to schools in exchange for revenue, but that is not the case in Michigan, The Atlantic reported. An Education Trust-Midwest report released in February found that Michigan charter authorizers “face almost no accountability” for their performance.
Another issue in Michigan is the involvement of for-profit companies in charter schools. The state allows a wide range of education institutions to create charters — such as school districts, community colleges, and universities — and receive 3 percent of the money that goes to those schools. They also get the huge benefit of being the only entities with the power to close schools that are underperforming. Now, for-profit companies operate 80 percent of charters in Michigan, according to The New York Times.
Given the fact that Trump himself ran a for-profit “university,” it’s easy to see why he would want an education secretary who has a record of supporting the involvement of for-profit companies in public education. Detroit Teachers Fed Up With Unsafe School Conditions Hold Massive ‘Sickout’
Detroit’s public school teachers are staging mass “sickouts” —&# 8202;which involves large groups of teachers across the city… thinkprogress.org
Although the average charter school student in Detroit is making greater gains than public school students in Detroit, data on proficiency in math and reading show that both charter school and public schools have a long road to improving students’ academic performance.
Only 17 percent of Detroit charter school students were rated proficient in math, compared to 13 percent of students in traditional public schools, according to Michigan Association of Public School Academies data released in 2015. Forty-three percent of Detroit charter students were rated proficient in reading compared with 39 percent of students in traditional public schools. Compared to the state average, these scores are still low. Eight in 10 Michigan charters had academic achievement below the state average in both reading and math, according to a Center for Research on Educational Outcomes at Stanford University report.
The steady growth of charter schools in Detroit comes at a time when the Detroit Public School system is struggling financially. Last spring, DPS filed a lawsuit against the state claiming it violated the civil rights of students through its emergency manager law. The district has been run by emergency managers since 2009, weakening the authority of the board of education and allowing an unelected emergency manager to make decisions about school finances. In a separate suit filed against the state by Detroit schoolchildren, they claim lack of state funding in city schools has denied them literacy. Attorneys for Gov. Rick Snyder and state education officials said there is no fundamental right to literacy for Detroit students.
Teachers have been bringing awareness to the issue of poor funding of Detroit schools in the form of protests. Last January, teachers protested the conditions of public schools and took photos of inedible food, damaged school buildings, and dead rodents and posted them on social media. Since then, there have inspections of schools, which confirmed that many schools were unsafe places for kids.
In the midst of all of these issues, DeVos has pushed for less regulation and oversight of charter schools and stated that public schools are failing children — all without advocating for better state funding of public schools.
David Hecker, president of the American Federation of Teachers in Michigan, told The Detroit News that the choice of DeVos would be “devastating for public education.”
Hecker added, “She wants her million and billionaire friends to profit off of childhood education.”

新的教育部长,Betsy Devos从来没有过教育方面的背景。她的理念就是用支持public school的钱去支持private school。这还不是最可怕的,最可怕的是她还不允许政府以任何形式监督private school的教育质量。
charter school已经成了资本家挣钱的工具了。底线是,任何人不能拿小孩的教育来做社会实验。

public school去比较了?
纽约的success academy的数学成绩全州第一。
要知道这个学校老黑劳模的孩子为主。
charter school可以随便开随便关闭的。
等人家挣完钱,拍拍屁股走人了,你有什么办法?
所以成绩非常突出。
工程/CS专业里面,多少中国人,多少其他外国人,多少美国人? 我们单位,牛人都是第一
代移民(中国,俄国,英国,德国,意大利,法国都有),美国人只能嘴巴牛.我们组里面现在
没有美国人.
不过这个不是重点,重点是新的教育部长要取消对charter school的监管。
这才是最要命的。
事实上charter管的比公校严格,而且进度非常快。而公校其实学的比私校还要快。当
然公校没有考核,没有要求,所以反而最差。
交钱上私校的其实很多不是为了课程。
上几个月不好自然就没人上了。
肯定会成为盈利工具啊,这想都不用想的。
我同意私校没什么好的。
不都是老中烙印的property tax堆起来的。
你脑子秀逗了。
几种学校以前都参观过。
公校,你就是不学,也得让你过。但是这个不是老师的事情,所以他们不管。
私校久是哄着,让你学。
charter school, success acadmey就是衡水中学,或者军训那种了。
一个起立,前提学生麻溜起来,那样子的。
的公校学的比99%的郊区所谓10分学区的好区公校学的快的多。都是后来好学生走了,
不学习的黑末多了,评分才下来的。

钱不少拿。
楼上不要以偏概全,几个charter school好,不能说明所有都好。爆出问题的多去了。
其次,cherter school的入学标准怎么算?
傻逼川轮子,绝对是华人中的烂瘤。
脑子被驴踢了。
好学区的学校都是靠tax dollar支持的,没有tax dollar支持,学校教育就会下降。
现在作为消费者市场上多个选择,可以不用受蛀虫的勒索。
你可以说转校,可是孩子时间能浪费?
美国学校好坏是根据房价走的。好区的学校好,坏区的学校差。因为学校好坏直接和
tax dolloar挂钩。
你现在拿着这些tax dollar去支持野鸡学校,好区的学校肯定会下来。
要是说拿这些钱去支持坏区,那也没话说。
但是现在的政策是把这些钱拿走去支持野鸡学校,但是还不允许政府监督。
就是等同于,资本家猛操老百姓了。学校就是资本家赚钱的工具了。
好区房价高,学校就好,烂区房价低,学校就差。
学校好坏是能够收多少tax决定的。
可能从来也没见过。
这是最要命的。
把支持你家娃上学的钱给野鸡学校,你就高兴了?
你还可以再蠢一点吗?
问题的关键是不应该把钱给野鸡学校。
差学区tax dollar被分了,关老中什么事?
蠢到家了。
时,反对对这些学校的监督。这是什么意思?就是野鸡学校可以随便建,随便搞。这绝对是抢钱的策略。
学习办不好就不选呗
因为city拿了这个区得钱去补贴隔壁的黑区
不过教育就是往脑子里灌大粪了。
我们单身没有小孩的,不管是gay还是straight,
都应该拿回一些退税。
以后都是自己织布,自己养牛了。
老中可以自己教孩子四书五经,神创论,微积分。
由于受到union限制,能管的地方也很少,去年全靠教师的自觉。好的更好,烂的可以
继续烂下去。
你知道phoenix university吗?到2016年,这个大学关掉了150多个site,因为fraud。这个大学毕业生大部分的收入低于最低工资标准。
招人和教学质量可以完全不相干,只要你广告做的好就行了。
如果是为了提高教育质量。我完全支持。但是这个教育部长是要deregulate教育。这是什么动机?

老中奥赛金牌有几个上数学系博士的?有几个上了数学系不琢磨转行的?
着学生走。学生愿意去的学校,自然就有funding。
的一套呢
university of pheonix也不是网络大学,人家有campus的好不好。很多charter
school用类似的方法招生。
你开个烂超市,没顾客关门大吉不是很正常么
到底啥逻辑,群众真是看不懂
你能保证下一个开的就是好的?
我没有否认有一些charter school教育质量是好的。
但是这个教育部长要deregulate教育,动机极其险恶。
另外,学校好坏由市场决定,早就在房价上体现出来了。好学区为啥房价贵?
charter school的本质就是拿公立的钱去养野鸡学校。
