Or kick the S out of your kids a couple of times and let them know their crap is unacceptable. |
I would much rather have state taxes and local property taxes fund it than everything going to DC and getting lost in the shuffle of big federal departments. |
Military/Military School will instill discipline. |
So you support zero federal funding and no federal department for oversight? OK. |
News Flash: 1. Student scores have consistently tanked since Jimmy Carter signed off on the creation of the Department of Education. 2. Classroom violence has become out-of-control since the creation of the Department of Education. We, the American taxpayers DEMAND that VIOLENT kids are REMOVED from our classrooms. Desks are NOT for throwing. Innocent students and teachers are getting assaulted with zero consequences for the perpetrators. “Federal funding and oversight” has been a complete disaster for American students and their teachers. Children can’t learn when they’re in a constant state of fear of assault. |
Indeed. |
No one has said how eliminating the department will improve these issues. And the federal government had oversight over education via the Department of Health, Education & Welfare for decades before Congress passed a bill that Carter signed to separate it out. You all just love tearing everything down but that doesn’t solve anything. |
12:15, why are schools no longer allowed to have parents pick-up their violent kids? |
I don’t know if that’s even true, much less whether or how the Department of Education has influenced it or not. I have had to pick up my nonviolent kid more than once. |
retired teacher here.
I taught Title I a decade before the Department of Education was formed by Jimmy Carter. The public law regarding Special Education was put into effect several years before Department of Education. The Department of Education has contributed nothing but more bureaucracy. The funds were there prior to Dept of Ed and they will be there after. The Department of Education does not print the money for the students. But, they are responsible for making a mess of student loans and creating more paperwork for teachers. |
Military school will teach your kid how to be a better criminal. Ask me how I know. |
Well said. Thank you. |
If your child has a fever, yes, you are expected to get your child. But if a child throws his desk at his teacher, no, the school is not allowed to call you. No consequences are allowed when a child is expressing his “behavioral disability”. All public schools have been mandated to accept this lunacy. By whom?? And for what purpose?? |
Special Education Laws and parents willing to sue the district. |
Bingo! They are a powerful lobby. School systems are terrified of the suits. Out of control student? The teacher is expect to remove the rest of the class because you cannot "exclude" the troublemaker. |
