COMPLETE FAILURE.

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

Not true. Our education system is not poor. Unlike many other countries, the USA tries to be inclusive and provide education to all children, including those who have learning difficulties. I know many of you posters think such children are mere burdens and not provided learning opportunities. Shame

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.

No oversight, accountability, or enforcement prior to ED establishment.

Yes it did. And worse, it use to just stop educating them all together

That’s what some of these posters are advocating for now. A return to what they envisioned as the good old days when twelve year olds were allowed to drop out of school.

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.

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?

No, it's the lack of pay and lack of respect.

Teachers are well paid in some districts,but it’s a slippery slope with parents and schoolboards being crazy

How do you define well paid?

No child left behind was pretty bad for the country.

Exactly. Part of the reason folks thought everything was good before is because most people never looked or heard about the data in totality. They didn’t really know how AZ compared to GA compared to NY. And since people didn’t move as much it was easy to believe things were fine. However once things in the country started to change and their was a unified agency it became alarmingly clear how broken education was, how many kids were being discriminated against and sidelined, and how lack of education was contributing to lack of opportunity and thus deficits in society.

Aren't schools already run by states? What do you think pays for your local public schools, DOE? Your RE taxes and more.

DOE does distribute money to states for education, much of which goes to things like programs for disabled students and subsidized lunches for low income students. Most private schools won't take students with severe disabilities, so even if their parents could afford a private, they would have no options of the public schools couldn't take them. This is a cruel FU to poor and disabled American children and their caregivers.

What’s cruel is forcing students who are trying to learn to be forced to be disrupted by disabled children who are unable to follow the rules and disrupt the classroom.

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

Exactly. The DOE made classrooms war zones where the most vicious kids can’t be dismissed.

It’s called ED. DOE is Energy.

Why do Democrats want to keep so much violence in the classrooms?

What makes you say it's Democrats?

No Child Left Behind was primarily Republican-backed. IDEA, ESEA, Section 504, ADA which promoted inclusivity all had bipartisan support including broad Republican support.

Are you attempting to revise history and claim that Republicans had nothing to do with it when the bill history and their voting records prove otherwise?

Cite the specific Department of Education requirement that you claim did that.

The difference between a Republican and a Democrat. A Republican lays a policy egg, and they change their mind. A Democrat lays a policy egg, and they double down on it.

When are Democrats going to abolish USCIS because they ruined it?

The better question is when are policies going to be made realistically (as in without huge ambiguities) and funded appropriately?
