Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) was highly critical of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos during her confirmation hearing, citing that DeVos had never attended a public school or sent a child to one, alphanews.com reported on March 2.
But Franken seems to like the idea of sending his own children to private schools — they attended Dalton School in New York City where tuition is $44,640 per year.
“Dalton is known for educating celebrities and children of royalty,” alphanews.com reported.
And Franken himself enjoyed attending a private school.
“According to an interview with Harvard Magazine, Franken was a math and science whiz as a boy,” alphanews.com reported. “As he approached secondary school years, his parents wanted to find a better school for their gifted student.”
“Franken ended up attending and graduating from Blake, one of the most exclusive private schools in the Minneapolis area, where the tuition for upperclassmen is currently $29,025 per year,” alphanews.com reported.

All dems are HYPOCRITES just as trump has said.
ReplyDeleteIt does make sense that the official in charge of education of the general public should at least have some experience with public schools who educate "the little people" who don't have all the resources to choose where to go.

DeleteHis kids are in their mid 30's.
ReplyDeleteDo as I say; not as I do. Typical liberal, Democrat balloon juice.
ReplyDeleteJust because you have vouchers does not mean all "thugs" can be accomidated in certain schools. First You will have to be smart enough and not a troubler maker. What will happen and needs to happen .is the "problem kids" will eventually be weeded down to certain type of schools. Like trade, or reform schools. Of course some want to be prisoners when they grow up So Prison also has options for these kids
ReplyDeleteI hear that you can get a GED in prison.
