Snapshot Take the word “choice”. You hear it all the time these days. School “choice”. Betsy DeVos uses it in practically every sentence. You could show her, as I did, an award-winning robotics programme, and she'd say, “What about choice?” which she actually said. You could probably say “Good morning, Betsy,” and she'd say, “That's my choice.” She must love restaurant buffets.
