Ms. Frizzle, of course, was a school teacher/scientist with a permit to drive a school bus and also a witch or a magician or something. Betsy DeVos is a billionaire without an education degree and zero experience working in a school environment who recently repealed 72 documents outlining the rights of students with disabilities in schools.

(28,060 posts)18. I did hate her more than Voldy-thing.
