Honestly, so far, I thought she was one of the better picks. Having been experienced with charter schools — which are the direction the country is going whether it's right or not — maybe she can steer away from the problems. And honestly, the biggest knock critics/columnists seem to have with charter schools is that they test pretty closely to public schools (which brings up the valid question of whether or not it's worth it to steer public dollars to private pockets, but, again, that's the direction voters seem to want to go).

The statement about needing to defend about grizzly bears is pretty irresponsible, though.

The problem with that reasoning for her is that she supports charter schools that have no oversight. Even when they began to do worse than public schools in Detroit, she was giving money to politicians who opposed oversight measures. 

Her experience is investing in companies that profit off of charter schools and putting money towards charter schools, not the actual running of schools or ensuring that the schools are educating kids. 

Charter schools themselves are not bad. Poorly regulated charter schools, like Detroit's, are bad.
