US Education Secretary Betsy Devos will be visiting the Hoosier State this week. It's just one stop on her first ever back to school tour called the Rethink School Tour.

The tour aims to showcase the innovative work schools across America are doing along with highlighting creative ways educators are better preparing students for the working world.

Devos has frequently held Indiana up as a model for education, especially around choice-based school reform like charter schools and taxpayer-funded vouchers for private school tuition.

The Rethink School Tour will start in Wyoming and head to Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Indiana.

    Summary Of Betsy Devos

    Many people of the Democratic party argued and questioned her even more to the point where her stance was obviously revealed to where she said states would deal with situations like this.

    The Pros And Cons Of Betsy Devos

    Donald Trump selected Betsy DeVos to be the Secretary of Education, critics have spoken about her lack of experience with public schools, her activism with school choice and private education has led many to believe she will strip funding of public school for private and religious school. In fact, Betsy DeVos was recently in a hearing with Democratic lawmakers and when DeVos was asked to commit to not work to privatize public school or strip a penny from public education, DeVos could not commit instead she answered "I look forward, if confirmed, to working with you to talk about how we address the needs of all parents and all students. " We clearly understand that DeVos does not see education as a public good but as a private profit,…

    History Trip To The Holocaust Museum

    The Hands on History Trip will instill more about these wonderful historical sites, learning more about the event, and experiencing hands on activities by walking through the Holocaust Museum, having a once in a lifetime experience at the Korean War Veterans Memorial, and by visiting the Island of Alcatraz to better educate students. “The world is a book, and those who do not travel only read one page” (St. Augustine 1). The quote is saying by not going out and experiencing something, then most likely nothing will be well-educated at all. It relates to the three stops for the reason that to truly comprehend something, seeing it in person makes the learning involvement so much better. This trip will give the students a once in a lifetime learning experience that will never be failed to recall.…

    Chick-Fil-A Personal Statement

    When I was little, I wanted to be a chemist. I imagined myself in the lab coat and with goggles on, carefully pouring electric blue liquids and jade green foam back and forth into various containers, until something had exploded and I had discovered the best way to make flowers the size of people. As I grew up, I lost this fantasy, but I gained more knowledge on how I wanted to influence the world. Funnily enough, I discovered what I really wanted to do when I started working at Chick-fil-A during the summer before my sophomore year. All of my friends had warned me against working in fast food, quoting horrible smells and ridiculous customers and tons of grease.…
