(Tim Devaney, The Hill) – President Trump plopped down in what he called a “child’s desk” Monday afternoon, a fitting setting considering he was about to repeal two Obama-era education rules affecting schoolchildren.
“It’s the smallest desk I’ve ever seen,” the president joked as he traveled from the Oval Office to another room in the White House, where he signed two bills repealing the Education Department’s teacher preparation and school accountability rules.
The teacher preparation regulations included training requirements for educators, and the school accountability rules were meant to gauge schools' effectiveness.
