The rules requiring waiver states to submit plans for providing poor and minority children with high - quality teachers was unworkable because it doesn't address the supply problem at the heart of the teacher quality issues facing American public education; the fact that state education departments would have to battle with teachers» union affiliates, suburban districts, and the middle - class white families those districts serve made the entire concept a non-starter.

If Americans know Education Secretary Arne Duncan for anything at this point, it would be as that guy who claimed last week that opposition to the Common Core national K - 12 educational standards sprang from «white suburban moms» who feared that tougher requirements would reveal their children to be as not «brilliant» as they thought.

Walk into any AF school and the truth will be seen - Students being demeaned and disciplined for not meeting ridiculous expectations, unacceptably high suspension rates, unacceptably low Special Education numbers and alarming Special Education noncompliance, predominately white leadership that is filled with hubris and a deep disconnectedness with the school's children and families, burned out teachers, high teacher turnover, etc..

I want a [n] Education] Secretary to hand off responsibility over education to the parents where it belongs... Yet, here is DeVos «ensuring» me of «opportunities» for my children — whom she doesn't know — in order to make sure she can benevolently «give» my kids what they need to fulfill their «highest potential» — which is MY joeducation and we don't need any more... I want a [n] Education] Secretary to hand off responsibility over education to the parents where it belongs... Yet, here is DeVos «ensuring» me of «opportunities» for my children — whom she doesn't know — in order to make sure she can benevolently «give» my kids what they need to fulfill their «highest potential» — which is MY joEducation] Secretary to hand off responsibility over education to the parents where it belongs...

Yet, here is DeVos «ensuring» me of «opportunities» for my children — whom she doesn't know — in order to make sure she can benevolently «give» my kids what they need to fulfill their «highest potential» — which is MY job.»

In 2013, he briefly suggested that Secretary of Education Arne Duncan was «impolitic» to place opposition to the Common Core State Standards upon «white, suburban moms» who don't want to find out that their children are not brilliant — just before he jumped in and declared that Secretary Duncan was right to be concerned that «a laudable set of guidelines» would be rejected for making kids work too hard, characterized most opposition to the standards as «welling hysteria» from the right and left wing, and chided parents concerned about the increasing lack of joy in school with declarations that portions of school ought to be «relatively mirthless» while blaming stories of students breaking down from stress upon their parents.

Making the case that choice allows for all families, poor or middle class, to meet the particular needs of their children can win support, especially from white middle class families who realize that how they are hurt by school zones and other Zip Code Education policies (and are also condescended by teachers and school leaders when they want more for their kids), but don't see any other way to avoid those problems beyond paying for private schools out their own pockets.

From the so - called gifted - and - talented programs that end up doing little to improve student achievement (and actually do more damage to all kids by continuing the rationing of education at the heart of the education crisis), to the evidence that suburban districts are hardly the bastions of high - quality education they proclaim themselves to be (and often, serve middle class white children as badly as those from poor and minority households), it is clear that the educational neglect and malpractice endemic within the nation's super-clusters of failure and mediocrity isn't just a problem for other people's children.
