Shudda known you'd be on DeVos' side too... You really are a shameless hack huh?



I'm sorry... have you even listened to Betsy when she opens her mouth?



Yea. Betsy Devos disagrees with you about turning schools into Comrade Marx indoctrination factories. As a result you defame her wherever you can

He continued: “It’s a problem, but they need to handle it. It shouldn’t be up to us, really. I don’t think so. They’re sitting back, they’re taking the money, they’re taking a little under the table. He’s trying to wake them up: Do your job. Be responsible.”

Those in the neighborhood without flood insurance were able to apply for and receive assistance from FEMA — including the Maddoxes, who recently had $14,000 in federal money land in their checking account.

Don't be an idiot. Not everyone left of you is a Marxist. If they were then Marxism really would be rampant.

meanwhile in denmark, students are being required to turn over their laptops to examiners so that they can examine their search history if they want to write the exams - so you essentially have to choose between your future and your privacy
i guess these people haven't heard of clearing your browser history

or better yet, perhaps educators could try writing exams instead of recycling the same exams from 20 years ago

Danish students are going to hate the country’s new exam rules. Denmark’s Education Minister Merete Riisager has proposed a new law that encourages students to grant schools access to their personal laptops, popular news outlet DR reports.

The proposal seeks to make it more difficult for students to cheat in exams. As part of the new rules, schools will also be allowed to do background checks on students’ search history and social media activity. The proposition has already been forwarded for further consideration.

Among other things, the draft also stipulates that examiners be allowed to, when necessary, inspect the contents of students’ laptops, including used materials, log files and more.

What is particularly unusual about the proposed law is that, while schools have no right to force access to the students’ devices, examinees will have to consent to having their laptops inspected in order to sit an exam or give a presentation.

Students that refuse to comply with these rules will have to face various penalties, like getting their devices confiscated for up to a day – or worse, getting expelled from the school altogether.
