1. Oooops!!!
   https://youtu.be/RJ4KdPnkHM4

2. She ruined Detroit public schools with that horrible charter/voucher system. Too ignorant to be involved with educating kids

3. Why is this a surprise? I’m an accountant. I’m going to apply to be surgeon general since clearly knowledge in the subject area is not required.

4. Smh…..& This is one of the people our government put in charge of our black children's education. Wow!

5. Sigh… It doesn't matter she is a Billionaire… and she still got the job anyway… what can we do to stop her?

6. This is sad…absolutely pathetic and embarrassing smdh…American Education sigh

7. How come only the GOOD Presidents get assassinated??

8. I read her Bio and she has no business taking over that position which is representing all American kids on both sides education. But then again the guy who put her up for nominee doesn't have a clue either of what everyone wants. I'm sorry he does have clue he just doesn't give a damn.

9. Damn shame this shit is sad

10. Utter joke.

11. you idiots dont get it,there's billions of dollars for education.
    Why is my kids school structure is deteriorating. Why are school closing down in South Side Chicago and all major Inner Cities
    control by Democrats? Trump called them out about where all the money is going? That's one of the main reasons the Democrats boycott the inauguration. Betsy Devos might not have the experience but somthing has to change. She already changing the Detroit schools for the better.

12. she should have asked for a 15 minute break to go check google!

13. Watch the one when Bernie asks her about her family's influence on the Repub party with their 100s of millions of $$ in donations. He basically makes it clear that she would not be in the position she's in right now if not for that. Clear proof of what's to be expected with the rest of Trumps's appointed "officials".

14. Can someone check her IQ score

15. She got the job, because her parents paid for the set, but they forgot to hire someone to answer the questions,

16. Silly Rabbit

17. Perhaps I am ignorant to the actual education debate. Bc she mentioned the correlation between mastery & competency to that of improvement advancement in particular subj areas. Franken tried to suggest that they are mutually exclusive In some cases yes. But in others, growth in a particular area demonstrates the level of proficiency. Not always though. Growth can indicate improvement but not proficiency…or a high level of competence. Feels like more bullsh*t IMO. Maybe she deserves DOD maybe not. But it felt like the Senator used his platform & position in the moment to try and humiliate DeVos. Realistically, She should have known such would be the case .

18. My brain hurts, guess I'm dumb

19. What do you expect….she has no credentials, no teaching, principal or superintendent certifications….she has never been on a school board or worked as a teacher… as a public school teacher I am greatly horrified at her nomination. she is completely unqualified and will destroy the lives of many students and teachers.

20. should've given her the biggest heha. if you're over the public schools of this nation, you should have the basics of public schools (which she doesn't have). and if you don't know already, she does not have any experience with public schools. her kids do not attend public school neither has she attended a public school. she's a multi billionaire who cannot function without a butler.

22. Free Taxstone!

23. Actually, the mastery of a lesson/topic/study compared to individual growth can be measured with standardized testing along with other, less traditional methods. The question should be what SHE believes to be more important: the demonstration of mastery OR an individual's growth in that particular area

24. This woman is a moron. She only has this position because she has given over 200 million to the Rep. party. But get this she has no HS or College Degree and has never been a teacher. #icant

25. De Fos . Its Dutch , Not French . She's a 10 scale MORON

26. #NOSMOOVESOUNDS

27. Elections have consequences.

28. Conservatives definition of a "liberal" – anyone who disagrees with the idea of Trump trying to run the country, be they Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, liberal, conservative, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, atheist, black, white, brown, yellow, purple, working class, white collar, college educated, high school dropout, tailor, tinker, soldier, spy, etc.

29. Big "L" for Conservatives

30. She didn't deserve the Hamiltones.

31. I'm not surprised here. Her intention is to bring down the Common Core, restore power back to the local and state level instead of the federal mandates of the CC, but can't define her take on proficiency vs growth in our school system? Donald Trump don goofed for nominating her when she has no prior knowledge of our education policy. Democrats must be laughing over cigarettes at the fact that when questions like this are imposed on Republicans such as herself who have no experience of an ongoing debate topic that has been around for quite some time, it makes the administration lineup look bad. Lets not forget other nominees who have explaining to do about our medicare in the health department of things… lets focus on how this administration will make sure that our tax payer money will not fall into waste fraud after donating to schools… we need strong honest individuals with prior knowledge of our economy and what can be done to improve our infrastructural facilities. Once this administration is fully installed into the white house, we could be doomed if the dopes Trump nominated get to making decisions.

32. None of it matters , because most of trumps voters drop out in the eight grade, and those who attend college make money off of them. Welcome to 'I hope you graduated before Trump took office' kinda work place. I thought it was some dumb ones out here now, that bar is going to be buried six feet deep, and you would have to be a vegetable not to graduate.
