Also, everyone gets paid through June 9th? That is actually a generous severance.

But who is going to take care of what the DOE did previously? Will there be more jobs in state education departments now? [/quote]

Apparently it’s the smallest staff of the cabinet agencies.[/quote]

It did not even exist in the 1970s.[/quote]

We had a lot of "slow" people in my class in the 70s. They disappeared from the school system eventually. Would have been nice for them to get some kind of education[/quote]

+1 and the very significantly disabled were kept at home or resided in institutions[/quote]

You have it backwards.  In the 1970s a lot more kids with developmental issues were being excluded from any form of education than today.  That changed with EACHA in 1975, IDEA in 1990 and so on, which mandated that those kids WOULD be able to get a public education wherever possible, via implementing IEPs and similar measures.   Now with the closure of Department of Education a lot of that will go away and those kids' families will be left to fend for themselves.  [/quote]

I mean, it's heartless to say it but many of those students are what has made education so expensive and also so untenable for typical familes. [/quote]
