Trump emphasizes support for charter schools, school choice during parent-teacher conference
In the accompanying video, President Donald Trump proclaims how well charter schools are doing, reemphasizes his campaign promises of school choice for all and, of course, talks about how wonderful it is that Betsy DeVos was confirmed as Secretary of Education.
THE BOOK THAT EXPOSES THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SCHOOL REFORM AND PRIVATIZATION MOVEMENT
Was Trump really a top student at Wharton? His classmates say not so much By Alex Rabin, and Rebecca Tan
"For years, President Donald Trump has said it’s clear that he is “a very smart guy” since he attended Wharton — a school he describes as “super genius stuff.”
Trump, who graduated from Wharton in 1968, has also told various publishers and news agencies such as The New York Times in 1984 that he “graduated first in his class.”
Penn records and Trump’s classmates dispute this claim.
In 1968, The Daily Pennsylvanian published a list of the 56 students who were on the Wharton Dean’s List that year — Trump’s name is not among them."
As you may have heard, there are rumors going around that lying about your academic background can get you fired, if you are a regular person.
