COMPLETE FAILURE.

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.

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

The WASP culture? The Jewish culture?

In all cultures, some families have better genes than others.

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.

I read your post. Do you understand the effect of your post? Charter options for your kid, means you as a teacher will either work for a charter and earn less money/have less in retirement OR deal with a dying system and parents who cannot place in other options.

You cannot have one without the other if you are still teaching.

+1 If there is a teacher shortage now, just wait how many leave if all schools become charter or private. While I’m sure there are some charter or public schools that are a desirable place to work, I’ve worked at multiple where the teachers are greatly unhappy and have extremely high turnover due to staff mistreatment. Most of the staff left eventually to go work at a 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.

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.

Exactly. Libs are lying, as usual.

I think we'll go the way of block grants to the states, and the department that oversees special Ed and bilingual education will largely ignore or openly flaunt the laws protecting those children. It'll be exactly how Trump is ignoring or flaunting the law in a lot of other ways.
If public schools, god forbid, do "go under" or somehow get dismantled and we end up all charter schools, like NOLA, the teacher shortage will be so incredibly bad that most schools will close. Nothing good is going to come of anything Trump does. The economy will tank, we will probably go to war with someone or with ourselves, everything is going to fall to pieces. I can't see it going any other way. It's depressing and scary. Our democracy, I think, is over.

Why would they do that though? Most don't like the DOE.

They’re not big fans of education in general.

This is why you are just a teacher. In many states, counties full educ budgets is from the federal government

Give examples. We’ll wait.

Hamilton county (90% is from federal), almost all the other county in tn and Alabama.

They need money for the tax cuts. There is no way they will give any of the DOE budget back to the states.

I’d honestly be okay terminating DoE if the level of funding was preserved and returned to the states, along with some basic restrictions (eg. Block grants must be used for Special Ed or other programs and not simply diverted to the General Fund). But, that’s not what we’re going to see out of Trump/DOGE. We’re going to see cuts without block grants, and we’ll see drastically decreased public school funding, especially in the South. And a lot of Southern Governors will be perfectly happy with that.

Long-time educator here. I've never belonged to a union or called in sick as a protest in my life; but I can promise you that when my general age group of women retires, there will be few replacements applying. Expectations for meeting all kids' needs will be too hard for not enough pay.

where is this federal money goes for education? Schools are funded by property taxes or state funding. Universities are same so what does DoE pays - pell grants?
