It’s so bad.

That’s why all the dcum moms fight like heck to send their kids to private schools.

There’s entire forums here dedicated to getting their kids into private schools because public schools are so poorly run, dangerous, etc, and the quality of education so abysmal.

Total hypocrites.

Send your children to public school, run by the DOE. You won’t! You’d rather die.

For the millionth effing time: the Federal DOE does not set curriculums for local schools. If your schools suck it's because of the state or local board, combined with - I'll say it - bad parenting that doesn't value education.


Department of Education should have been eliminated long ago. The only reason it exists is to use federal grants to coerce local school districts into conforming to a leftist political agenda, and to serve as a centralized authority to push leftism nationwide.


Hilarious considering it was the Reagan administration that saved it from actually being eliminated, and the Bush administrations that expanded its power to push untested educational methods like on states and teachers.

The top 10 best educated states are all blue states. It won’t change them. The poor states like Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, etc will be negatively affected.


https://scholaroo.com/report/state-education-rankings/

New York is ranked 6th.
California is ranked 40th.


Top 14 out of 15 are blue and the 15th is purple state.


This is because the higher rated states have some combination of old money, Jewish, and Asian households. If those people all moved to the south, those states would skyrocket in ranking.


Clearly you were educated in a red state.

Have they thought about what jobs the huge class of undereducated are going to qualify for in twenty years? Jobs are becoming more technical or eliminated and filled by machines. There will be more and more angry, poor incels. What’s in it for the 1%?


Aren’t they going to pick the oranges?

But they do, sort of. For one, DOE created No Child Left Behind, which forced every single public school in every state to make standardized tests the focus of the curriculum, and then report those results to the DOE and face punishment for not scoring high enough. Then they put out Common Core (a curriculum) and forced us all to align with that to one degree or another. The current state of education - abysmal - was nearly entirely shaped by the testing policies of NCLB, which teachers said then and are still saying did tremendous damage to the system, and to students.

SO MUCH WINNING


America reminds me of Charlie Sheen who felt on top of the world at height of his alcohol and drug addiction. He was “winning” it all!

It was law makers who created NCLB, DOE just carried it out.

Sorry, but it's not a "leftist" agenda it's pushing. It began under Reagan and expanded under Bush II to push THEIR agenda, the goal of which was to prove that public education was failing (but forcing a harmful, illogical testing policy on schools and then making sure everyone eventually failed the test) so they could push their agenda of privatization of education.

To not know that, you must be very young and a product of Bush's REPUBLICAN education policy.

This has always been just a stupid right-wing talking point to brainwash idiots to distrust education so they remain easily susceptible to conspiracy theories and disinformation. Trump is supposed to know to not take it seriously. It will blow up in their faces because the whole thing is based on nothing. There is no legitimate reason to object to the U.S. Department of Education. What morons you all are.

Without the grants and free money, the tuition costs of college will go down. And schools will continue to find ways for poor people to attend. It's a numbers game and school survival is related to butts in seats to justify paying professors to justify having various departments. Schools that can't do this probably shouldn't be around anyway. Community colleges exist for a reason.

And Common Core was pushed by Obama. All the DOE and any federal agency do is carry out the wishes of the president and congress through Acts, Laws, and Executive Orders. The DOE can decide it’s processes and how it’s getting done, but it’s just getting tasked out to them.

While we're on this topic, since so many Americans have guns, why not get rid of the DoD as well? It accounts for a big chunk of our budget and is staffed by lots of MAGA.

Duh. You just answered your question.

I bet you live in a less diverse New England state.
