Department of Education

[Anonymous]

We spent THREE TIMES the MONEY than ANY other country, yet we rank at the BOTTOM.

COMPLETE FAILURE.

The Department of Education did not exist until Carter created it. i think it was 1980.

I taught before and after the Department of Education was formed.

Title I pre-dates the Department of Education and it will exist after it goes away. Many public laws regarding special education, learning disabilities, etc. pre-date the Department of Education. I was teaching when many of those were enacted.

I don't think people realize what a mess the Dept of Education has been. Student loans existed prior to the Dept of Education. They have always been an issue, but it became much worse under this department.

It is just a bureaucracy peeling off $$ that would be better spent at the local level where the instruction happens.

Thank you for your post based on your extensive experience.

Apparently we have ZERO EVIDENCE that the Dept of Education has ever improved the outcome of our students.

This has been ANOTHER total WASTE of taxpayer dollars.

TRAGIC.

Teacher here, who is home sick today. There is no plans for us to call in sick over this. Stop fear mongering. We had meetings at school and they said it won’t affect the budget as much as people think.

I, personally, am in favor of charter options. Public schools have done downhill in VA in the past ten years and no I am not a troll. I am a real teacher and a parent and yes, my kid has an IEP.

Truth.

Except, they don’t pay as well OR offer as good retirement. Unlike in other sectors, where government work pays less, most charter options pay less than public.

I was speaking as a parent. If you read my post, I pulled my child for private school. I still work in public school.

Those are the teachers who need to find a different field. Good riddance.

Children deserve an education, not radical indoctrination.

Shut your mouth MAGA. Teachers are hard working, empathetic, compassionate humans who show your children they care every day. You are probably a nasty lazy stay at home mom who is miserable with life. Just shut it-teachers barely have time to use the restroom never mind indoctrinating your children moron. Get help.

Education has been poor here as long as the country has existed, other than college level. The problems are cultural.

Surely Schumer knows that funding does not cease with the elimination of the Department of Education.

Once more: DOEducation did not exist until 1980. There was federal funding prior to that and there will be federal funding going forward.

I'm a teacher. That's not happening anywhere. Stop using Fox News talking points.

Some, particuraly from certain ethnic and religous minorities, would disagree since they are not coming from a common reference point given the various lawsuits in recent years.

No. If you isolate the data for race, income and parent education level, it tracks exactly as you expect it would. Kids of educated parents middle class and above are doing just fine. The problem is how to make a family care about school if they just…don’t.

We do not support working parents in any discernible way and we do not invest in birth through give education. And taking food and healthcare away from poor kids and their parents and pregnant women will not help our scorecard go up. It will go down.
