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.

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.

Since there is no "Hamilton" county in Alabama, are you referring to Hamilton County, Tennessee? I don't know; their proposed FY25 budget (pg 26) shows only $58.4M of the overall $663M budget as being Federal Revenue. That's ~9% of their budget. Did you mean to be off by a factor of 10? Or are you referring to a different Hamilton County? The vast majority of Hamilton County TN's educational funding is clearly and specifically marked as coming from local or state sources.

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.

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.

It's too hard now and new young teachers at my school are already looking for a way out and a new career.

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.

LOL we thought you liked liars you voted for the biggest one ever-and to top it off he's a rapist and a felon.

exactly by point. Why we spend so much on education and so behind on education? Something needs to be fixed. Cut stupid programs and push kids to do better in STEM fields. I have heard enough arguments that arts and diversity programs help. LOL, they don't. our education status is going down.

PP here. True. Another option is to go to a very well run public school system or a private school.

Is it?! Trump announces they’re investigating DCPS & special ed but then closes DoEd? Umm ok, these two things are contradictory but we know this is how he is.

Previously, students with special needs often dropped out after failing one or two grades. Those with very significant special needs and/or very low cognitive functioning often remained at home or i
group homes and institutions.

Non sped students failed grades if they didn't do their work. We didn't have kids coming into upper ES with no schooling in numbers. Kids who did come to K without English assimilated quickly. Most were from 2 parent households.

You rarely had classrooms with wide ranging student abilities like we do today especially in places like western ffx county.

What people don’t understand is that having everything in a bunch of difference places, makes administering and reporting on it more difficult. Not to mention it makes it easier to have less funding because the funding is now split across multiple agencies.

Any idea if the plan is to return the funding to the states via block grants, or will they simply leave states to choose between closing schools or raising taxes? And… is there anything stopping a state from simply abolishing public education altogether?

Who EXACTLY has benefited the most since Carter created DoE, beyond the unions and that Randy witch?

She’s Zelensky’s twin in character.

Many, many young people would love to join the teaching profession, including some in my own family. It’s the bureaucracy that’s keeping them away. Agree?

Folks: A lot of people feel this way. A lot. In my state all the schools were renamed suddenly. They were replaced with sort-of silly names. I’m just saying this WAS a local issue election. Many people parents felt strongly and voted. All you had to do was pay attn at the county/school board level. It (public meetings) was bananas for 2-3 years.

Clearly, you need a better education.
