God Help Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos


(A)  It will take God's  grace and supernatural power 
to overcome the iron-grip that is the  teacher's Unions.

(C)   Christians and Parents -- let us unite in prayer, in the name of the Lord, 
 over this battleground in U.S. children's lives and futures

Betsy DeVos: You go, Girl!

Why I am not in a panic mode over  Betsy DeVos -- "a Reformer who is not buried in the beauracracy" -- as U.S. Education Secretary. Reason (b) is a good one.

(a)  School Choice; and a chance for a better education.  





(b) $7 Billion Dollars down the drain and nothing to show for it.  Read it, and weep.


BILLIONS Spent for Education Under Obama had NO impact on Achievement


(c)  Loosening the talons of Teacher's Unions; and Accountability of Teachers for student failing grades


Yes to Better Education


(d)  The love of money $$ (but, of course!)

Why the Liberal LEFTISTS are Afraid


(e)    PARENTs will get  involved!  

The Secret Ingredient to School Success



(f) Many Democrats/Liberals were going nuts, throwing temper tantrums, and endlessly speaking on and on.  Thus, it was a big hint that  a very good albeit threatening-to-them-and-the-status-quo candidate was up as a nominee.  

So, NOPE to whiny snowflakes being rewarded for their demands!

'Twas the Night Before Finals


'Tis the season for school final exams.  Some kids are feeling a little nervous.  Not my kids, of course,  hehehe.  How about yours??

'Twas the Night Before Finals

T'was the night before finals,
And all through the college,
The students were praying
For last minute knowledge.
Most were quite sleepy,
But none touched their beds,
While visions of essays
Danced in their heads.
Out in the sports field,
There were some throwing,
In  hope that some exercise
Would get their brains going.
In my own apartment,
I had been pacing,
Dreading all those exams
I soon would be facing.
My roommate was speechless,
His nose in his books,
And my comments to him
Drew unfriendly looks.
I drained all the coffee,
And brewed a new pot,
No longer caring
That my nerves were shot.
I stared at my notes,
But my thoughts were all muddy,
My eyes went a'blur,
I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help,"
I said with a shiver,
But each place I called
Refused to deliver.
I'd pretty much concluded
Life is unfair and cruel,
Since our futures all depend
On grades made in school.
When all of a sudden,
Our door opened wide,
And Patron Saint Put-It-Off
Ambled inside.
Her spirit was careless,
Her manner was mellow,
She looked at the mess
And started to bellow:
"Why should us students
Make such a fuss,
About what those teachers
Toss out to us?"
"On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes!
On Last Year's Exams!
On Wingit and Slingit,
And Last Minute Crams!"
Her message delivered,
She vanished from sight,
But we heard her laughing
Outside in the night.
"Your teachers won't flunk you,
So just do your best.
Happy Finals to All,
And to All, a good test."
