[quote=Anonymous]+1 what has the DOE actually accomplished? [quote=Anonymous]Without Dept of Ed, achievement will go down.. Ahh wait, according to their own statistics achievement has been going down for years. Here's data on achievment since 1970 directly from DOE. This is actually one case where DOE is definitely useful -- tracking national trends on educational achievement. https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/highlights/ltt/2023/ But look at the numbers -- scroll down to the more detailed section (Section II). Every single group -- Asians, Black, Hispanic, White -- has seen a decline in reading and math scores since 2012. How do we measure that DOE's mission is successful? Here's their mission statement: "ED's mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access." Are they doing it well? I guess one could argue the scores could have declined even more without DOE...[/quote][/quote]
