Who is popular today?

Dr. Jill Biden, our next first lady, is perfectly positioned to be America’s teacher-in-chief, using her bully pulpit and presidential proximity to promote public education and prevent repeating recent instructional disasters like No Child Left Behind, the Common Core and Race to the Top. As her husband announced in his first speech as president-elect, “She has dedicated her life to education, but teaching isn’t just what she does — it’s who she is. For America’s educators, this is a great day: You’re going to have one of your own in the White House.”
