Betsy DeVos: “Reading opens kids' minds and expands their world. Literacy is the foundation of learning and it's the starting point on…”

I think a school is a sacrosanct place for students to be able to learn, and they should be protected there.

This budget is about students. It is easy to get lost in the numbers and forget about the faces of students whom we have all pledged to serve.

We have not done a good job of helping students to know what their full menu of options are when pursuing higher education.

I do find that strange. And in fact, in the last administration, there was $7 billion invested specifically into schools that were failing or deemed failing to improve them, and there was absolutely zero outcome from that investment.
