MORE Trump DE-regulations...

[Bann]

I'm confused. Why aren't the teachers on my FB feed supporting this? Wouldn't it give them more freedom and less Federal constraints?

The other two bills did away with Department of Education power over teacher training and state accountability requirements under the Every Student Succeeds Act.

The president said he was “removing an additional layer of bureaucracy to encourage freedom in our schools.

It sounds to me as thought this would be welcome. Another link to this information -

my guess is you aren't hearing much from your teacher friends as this appears to impact teacher training/ certification programs that your friends would already have completed. It doesn't appear to have any direct impact on those already in the classroom.

This is what a very liberal friend of mine on Facebook posted about this.

"The school voucher system proposed by Education secretary Betsy DeVos does not mean you can choose any school you want your kid to go to. It means the public education program will be dismantled.
If your child has an IEP (individual education plan for students with special needs), kiss it goodbye.
If you have a job in special-education, if you're a special education teacher, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech pathologist, a para, a teacher's aid, or an ESL (English as a second language) teacher, you'll go first.
House Bill 610 makes some large changes. Inform yourselves. This bill will effectively start the school voucher system to be used by children ages 5-17 and starts the defunding process of public schools. The bill will eliminate the Elementary and Education Act of 1965, which is the nation's educational law that provides equal opportunity in education. ESSA is a big comprehensive program that covers programs for struggling learners, advanced and gifted kids in AP classes, ESL classes, classes for minorities such as Native Americans, Rural Education, Education for the Homeless, School Safety (Gun-Free schools), Monitoring and Compliance, and Federal Accountability Programs.
The Bill also abolishes the Nutritional Act of 2012 (No Hungry Kids Act) which provides nutritional standards in school breakfast and lunch.
The bill has no wording whatsoever protecting Special Needs kids, no mention of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), and FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education). Some things ESSA does for Children with Disabilities:
-Ensures access to the general education curriculum.
-Ensures access to accommodations on assessments.
-Ensures concepts of Universal Design for Learning.
-Includes provisions that require local education agencies to provide evidence-based interventions in schools with consistently underperforming subgroups.
-Requires states in Title I plans to address how they will improve conditions for learning including reducing incidents of bullying and harassment in schools, overuse of discipline practices and reduce the use of aversive behavioral interventions (such as restraints and seclusion).
Please call your representative and ask him/her to vote NO on House Bill 610 (HR 610) introduced by three Republican reps.
PLEASE copy and paste, don't just share. That limits it to friends we have in common."

House Bill 610 is entirely different from the bill mentioned in the original post.

My mistake. I saw they both referenced the ESSA.

Perhaps because they have been indoctrinated that they cannot teach properly without massive guidance from above? Perhaps by the same Edu-industrial complex that bought that crap in the first place? the folks that brought us such crap as Terc and common core?

I'm going to go out on a limb here based on the highlighted items and call on everything after that

given the overblown hyperbole coming from liberal and especially off of Facebook

It doesn't matter what the teachers want or like.. their orders from their handlers are not to support ANY of Trump's ideas..

Hard to believe the educated amongst would lockstep with those that don't have their best interests at heart..

BUT it's been pointed out a couple of time that both Trump and Devos have proposed the same things democrats have in the past (when the Union and teachers wanted it) but now it's blasphemy.. they don't know what the hell they are talking about.. it will be the ruin of our country.. Vouchers for one Example.. and what you called out in your post for another.

They have ONE goal.. to make Trump an illegitimate President and to destabilize our country.. Morals be damned.

They truly have.. I've witnessed it myself where I had to fake liberalism and the group think to pass a course as my "opinions" were wrong.. I argued for about 5 minutes before the light dawned and I realized the woman teaching the class with her half shaved head couldn't be reasoned with.

I adopted the liberal think.. the campus group think.. passed the course(s) and went back to what I knew was right, but I was old enough to see what was happening others took it after 20 years of life they had been enlightened.

Younger people, after 4 years of this, forget right from wrong, and forget their values and adopt the liberal values as their own. No fault of their own, but they've been immersed in it for 4 solid years of their life, when it only take a matter of a week or two to actually brainwash somebody.

Now they only know one truth..

To some extent, but they are still in our house, under our roof.. and still hear out voices.

College campuses are a hotbed for Socialist and Communist (and now Muslim) recruiting as they know there is no voice of reason to pull them from..

I would have to say this is a factual statement. A 3 week course for Instructor training in the navy taught Navy Instructors how to develop curriculum. Ask any Maryland teacher if they ever received training in how to develop curriculum. The answer will be NO. While they require a Masters degree, they have no clue to any curriculum development models. The reasoning is, "The Feds dictate it, we don't need to know."

Sad as every community is different. I believe you could make a strong argument that Leonardtown schools require a different curriculum that Great Mills school.
