Linda McMahon, President Donald Trump’s billionaire education secretary, faced backlash on Wednesday over her plans to spend more than $43,000 of taxpayer money on new furniture for her government office as she works to illegally dismantle the department she leads, harming students across the country.
teachers aren’t the problem.
if teachers had more power, we’d have little problems and lots of little inequities, but much better outcomes for almost everyone than we’re getting right now.
i think our biggest problem is administrators thinking up “creative” (see: ineffective) implementations of poorly drafted laws, which results in them not supporting their staff, which results in students getting neither the education nor the services they need to succeed.
that may just be the school my wife’s at tho. hard to see the forest for the trees when you’re really interested in this one specific tree.
they do all seem to be like that.
except the laws. sometimes they’re very well thought out, to these ends
i mean my experience drafting legislation and regulation, we were all either drunk or high the entire time. that tends to color your expectations regarding government.
