[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Department of Education was founded in 1979 and has spent trillions of dollars.  It has utterly failed to even budge test scores for American students.  If anything, American students learned far MORE in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s BEFORE the addition of this expensive bureaucracy.  It is a colossal waste of resources.  There is no justification for its existence.  It hasn't succeeded at all.[/quote]

Again, someone who completely misunderstands the Ed's mission. It is the SMALLEST cabinet dept because it has a few, discrete goals, and raising test scores is not one of them:

*Establishing policies on federal financial aid for education and distributing as well as monitoring those funds--[b]hope no one you know filed FAFSA or needs free school lunch[/b]
*Collecting data on America's schools and disseminating research-[b]this way we get to know LA and TX are at the bottom.[/b]
*Focusing national attention on key issues in education, and making recommendations for education reform--[b]local school boards have the final say.[/b]
*Prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal access to education--[b]IEPs, IDEA, Title Nine.[/b]

So all this accomplishes is eliminating a tiny department that protects women, special education students, poor kids, and people trying to access higher ed.

Good work knowing nothing about anything[/quote]
