Teachers Brace for Second Trump Term

Insight from educators on what Trump 2.0 may mean for schools

Trump is back, and some former educators think that may mean an expediting of the current teacher exodus.

These moves would gut public education, imperil our most vulnerable students, and move us closer to a dystopia in which education is little more than childcare and teaching a low-skilled, low-paid job where EdTech bots “teach” and humans merely supervise.

Quinn wonders what will happen at the end of another four years of Trump:

If the teaching profession is gutted, as it likely will be, and if a mass exodus occurs, which is likely may—what will be left of our education system? And what will happen to our young people in it, the most vulnerable of whom will be most deeply impacted?

Also, will Betsy DeVos come back? Or, will a pro-voucher governor like Bill Lee take on the Ed Secretary role?
