[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m reading on the Arlington Education Matters Facebook page teachers are stressed and concerned about the election and impacts to teachers. They mention [b]the elimination of DOE [/b]and concern with teachers already being short staffed and overworked. I also see Arlington parents complaining about amount of time it takes to get grades back and responsiveness of counselors who are supporting a large number of students. Isn’t it a huge plus, the removal of illegals that the new administration is promising? This could significantly reduce the number of students and the numbers that need extra support. It seems to me this is a big upside to reduce crowding and stress on our teachers, school administrators and school infrastructure. [/quote] I find it troubling how few people understand how government works. It takes an act of Congress to get rid of DoEd. It's certainly possible a Republican-held Senate and House could get this done, but seems pretty unlikely. They'd have to figure out where else to place the Title 1 dollars and administration of Title 1 first. Congress does not want to just get rid of Title 1 funding. That would be extremely unpopular. Presidential candidates say all sorts of crap that is not something that is actually under their purview. Also, FYI, Congress appropriates funds not the president.[/quote]
