That’s why I say every time that you spend money on those kids wisely, you get it back 10 times over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That claim is supported by Deborah La Torre’s \u003ca href=\"http://cresst.org/people-of-cresst/deborah-la-torre/\">research\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s an associate at UCLA’s National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards and Student Testing and has studied California’s after-school programs closely. La Torre found that the key to success is “dosage.” Students who attended regularly were less likely to transfer, drop out or get suspended from regular school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Interacting with caring adults who have degrees can be a big motivator for kids to stay in school,” she said. “There are lots of other things these programs provide besides academic outcomes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shrinking the “opportunity gap” between students from wealthier families and those from disadvantaged ones is one of the programs’ greatest achievements, said Jennifer Rinehart, vice president of policy and research for the Afterschool Alliance, a national advocacy group leading the \u003ca href=\"http://www.afterschoolalliance.org/policy21stcclc.cfm\">fight\u003c/a> against Trump’s proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well-off families can pay for private tutoring, homework help, robotics courses and the like,” Rinehart said. “Many of these kids only get those services through after-school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happens when Trump and Congressional leaders meet to hash out a budget deal is anyone’s guess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether the president’s proposal to eliminate this ineffective federal program ultimately ends up on the chopping block is an open question,” said Lindsey Burke, director of the conservative Heritage Foundation’s center for education policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the programs were working as designed, she said, the country’s standardized test scores wouldn’t be in the middle of the pack compared to other nations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spending plan endorsed last month by a House subcommittee seeks more modest cuts to the programs’ federal funding. But federal budget analysts note that the two sides have virtually never been so far apart, with Trump seeking cuts 10 times deeper than those sought by House Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not living in normal times,” said David Reich, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. “It’s going to be a long, messy process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When you think about especially the individual kids for me and many of my colleagues, it brings tears to your eyes. You know what they overcome, and they still stay. And I think that's what makes me proud as an American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ysidro Valenzuela\u003c/strong>: I think it's fantastic to compare the American Dream [to immigrant students] as you just did. I completely agree with you. That's patriotism, right? It comes in many forms, and when I watch [immigrant students] overcome their own obstacles and do the best they possibly can, that's just about as an American Dream as you can get.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On talking politics with their students:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson\u003c/strong>: I kind of have an interesting position because in Oakland we try to have both sides of every issue. It's kind of a district mandate that when you have a guest speaker, you need to have somebody [from the other side]. And because most teachers didn't know any other conservatives, I became the token counter guy. I'm a conservative. I explain to them why I voted the way I did, and yes, I voted for Trump, not that I am a Trump fan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"G0X8H6nWRMKV1TEQD9jsQCeJfmm0ONq6\"]\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Valenzuela\u003c/strong>: One of the things that students, especially the curious students, ask a lot is, \"Well, what do you think, Mr. Valenzuela?\" When it comes to politics, when students ask, I answer them. I'm a lifelong liberal. I have been a member of the Democratic Party for some time. I try to make sure we present both sides, but when they ask me a personal question, I certainly answer, especially when it comes to things like immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On politics today:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson\u003c/strong>: To be honest, I'm totally disappointed with both parties. It used to be the Democratic Party was about social justice and helping the poor and jobs and unions. Where has that gotten [the country]? Look at the systems it has established. And the Republican Party, it's money for grabs. They're both the same, and hence the outsiders. You liked Bernie, I like Trump. I think there needs to be a housecleaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Valenzuela\u003c/strong>: I think what makes me hopeful is that we're seeing more civic activism. I know it seems like we're in divisive times, but it's also an opportunity to see the best of us, to see what makes us Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every day I have a student who comes in, and they ask a question about something going on in the headlines. \"What does this mean? How do I find out more about that?\" And then it leads to another question and then another question. And that's education, right? You talk about a teachable moment. Every day these days is a teachable moment for students.\u003c/p>\n\n",

When you think about especially the individual kids for me and many of my colleagues, it brings tears to your eyes. You know what they overcome, and they still stay. And I think that's what makes me proud as an American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ysidro Valenzuela\u003c/strong>: I think it's fantastic to compare the American Dream [to immigrant students] as you just did. I completely agree with you. That's patriotism, right? It comes in many forms, and when I watch [immigrant students] overcome their own obstacles and do the best they possibly can, that's just about as an American Dream as you can get.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On talking politics with their students:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson\u003c/strong>: I kind of have an interesting position because in Oakland we try to have both sides of every issue. It's kind of a district mandate that when you have a guest speaker, you need to have somebody [from the other side]. And because most teachers didn't know any other conservatives, I became the token counter guy. I'm a conservative. I explain to them why I voted the way I did, and yes, I voted for Trump, not that I am a Trump fan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Valenzuela\u003c/strong>: One of the things that students, especially the curious students, ask a lot is, \"Well, what do you think, Mr. Valenzuela?\" When it comes to politics, when students ask, I answer them. I'm a lifelong liberal. I have been a member of the Democratic Party for some time. I try to make sure we present both sides, but when they ask me a personal question, I certainly answer, especially when it comes to things like immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On politics today:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Johnson\u003c/strong>: To be honest, I'm totally disappointed with both parties. It used to be the Democratic Party was about social justice and helping the poor and jobs and unions. Where has that gotten [the country]? Look at the systems it has established. And the Republican Party, it's money for grabs. They're both the same, and hence the outsiders. You liked Bernie, I like Trump. I think there needs to be a housecleaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Valenzuela\u003c/strong>: I think what makes me hopeful is that we're seeing more civic activism. I know it seems like we're in divisive times, but it's also an opportunity to see the best of us, to see what makes us Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every day I have a student who comes in, and they ask a question about something going on in the headlines. \"What does this mean? How do I find out more about that?\" And then it leads to another question and then another question. And that's education, right? You talk about a teachable moment. Every day these days is a teachable moment for students.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She and her mom came home one day to their apartment in Anaheim and found a padlocked front door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was horrifying,\" she says now, sitting in the dining room of Bridges. \"Three months we didn’t pay the rent, and they locked us out one day when we went out to do errands. Basically, we lost everything. All our belongings, from clothes to furniture, everything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was embarrassed to tell my family,\" Weinstein says, and starts to cry. \"So we didn’t even tell them for a few months while we were on the street, I was so embarrassed.

At the new Bridges shelter, the emphasis is not just on providing a place to sleep, but trying to reverse homelessness, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Literally, our staff wear T-shirts [that say], 'Tell me your housing plan.'

They would have allowed loan forgiveness in cases of misconduct by schools and made it easier for states to punish bad actors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whether it’s Corinthian Colleges or Trump University, no student deserves to have their parents' -- or their own -- hard-earned money fraudulently taken away from them with nothing in return,\" Becerra said in an interview with KQED News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorney general is referring to President Trump's now-defunct real estate training program and Corinthian Colleges, which shut down and eventually filed for bankruptcy after Becerra's predecessor sued over its predatory practices. Then-Attorney General Kamala Harris -- now a U.S. senator -- secured a $1 billion judgment against Corinthian Colleges on behalf of students. Then-President-elect Trump also settled three lawsuits alleging fraud and illegal business practices last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These regulations do, for America's parents and kids going to college, what we simply expect to happen anyhow -- which is that our students get educated, not ripped off, when they go to a college,\" Becerra said. \"The regulations were the product of these cases against sham universities like Corinthians, and essentially try to provide these protections to avoid this sort of defrauding from occurring in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra said the Trump administration is \"not above the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you’ve completed a process for enacting a law or regulation, then it must be implemented and obeyed,\" he said. \"The Trump administration ... doesn't have a right to selectively decide which laws and regulations it will execute and which it will abandon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit -- brought by California, 17 other states and the District of Columbia -- accuses DeVos of breaking federal law and giving free rein to for-profit colleges by rescinding the Borrower Defense Rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit asks a U.S. District Court to declare the Education Department's delay of the rule unlawful and to order the agency to implement it. The states say they have pursued \"numerous costly and time-intensive investigations and enforcement actions against proprietary and for-profit schools\" that violated consumer protection laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Borrower Defense Rule was adopted by the Obama administration last November and had been set to take effect this month. It was created to make it \"simpler for students at colleges found to be fraudulent to get their loans forgiven,\" as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/06/17/531930366/devos-rolls-back-for-profit-college-regs-harvards-president-to-step-down\">NPR's Ed team\u003c/a> has reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Large amounts of money are potentially at stake. As the states' complaint notes, \"taxpayers invested $32 billion in for-profit schools in the 2009-10 academic year, more than the annual budget of the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of State during that time period.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule was put on hold in June, less than one month after DeVos said her agency would re-evaluate it. The states say DeVos moved too quickly to quash the rule and did so without public comment, particularly compared with the rule's genesis in public hearings that began in September 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos called her move \u003ca href=\"https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/secretary-devos-announces-regulatory-reset-protect-students-taxpayers-higher-ed-institutions\">a \"regulatory reset\"\u003c/a> when she announced that the Department of Education would convene new public hearings on the rule that are scheduled to be held next week. The secretary said the rulemaking process had \"missed an opportunity to get it right\" and created \"a muddled process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The states in the new federal complaint disagree, saying that DeVos is trying to use a lawsuit filed by the California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools, a trade organization, as \"a pretext\" to avoid legal requirements for a federal notice and comment period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Since Day 1, Secretary DeVos has sided with for-profit school executives against students and families drowning in unaffordable student loans,\" Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said in a news release about Thursday's court filing. \"Her decision to cancel vital protections for students and taxpayers is a betrayal of her office's responsibility and a violation of federal law. We call on Secretary DeVos and the U.S. Department of Education to restore these rules immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Borrower Defense Rule was negotiated after two large for-profit chains — \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2015/04/27/402560783/the-largest-for-profit-college-shutdown-in-history\">Corinthian Colleges\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/12/07/502601724/what-former-employees-say-itt-tech-did-to-scam-its-students\">ITT Technical Institute\u003c/a> — shut down hundreds of campuses following regulatory crackdowns in recent years.
