People like DeVos need not only to visit schools where these problems are
rampant, they need to camp out there. Politicians of all stripes, local, state

People like DeVos need not only to visit schools where these problems are
rampant, they need to camp out there. Politicians of all stripes, local, state
and federal are woefully ignorant about the problems of inner city families
and, therefore, inner city schools. I say that because I've been there. I was
a stay at home mom who returned to the teaching field after my 3 kids were in
college - applied for a second semester job in January, early 90s.The only
thing available at that time was in the poorest area of a large Texas city. I
worked there for 7 years. It was an elementary school - I'm sure high school
work is more difficult - but after two years, my lily white, solidly middle
class eyes were opened. Yes, two years it took. A beautiful little black girl,
5th grade, helped me with that, a funny little incident that I'll never
forget. I began to see the people -who they are, what they've endured, what
their hopes are, as well as how many have given up. They're good people; the
needs are great; the likelihood of those needs being sufficiently addressed
are miniscule. Politicians don't get it - they won't spend a hour inside those
walls, much less two (or 7) years, and certainly not adequate funding. They
wouldn't touch those little kids - the remains of our Jim Crow era (yes,
really!) - when they come flying down the hall crying. And certainly not
little Miss Betsy Devos, who is as blind as bat, hasn't the foggiest idea how
much she doesn't know.
