[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The state of public education in the US is already precarious and Trump’s plans for education are rather frightening. Patriotism education? Prayer in schools?
Is anyone else scared that things will go from bad to worse?

And you think things are going great now, where were behind almost every other first world nation in education? Getting rid of the useless Dept. of Education (which has only been around since 1980) would be worth a try.[/quote]

The Department is behind the monetary grants which funded:

- Mary Calkins - a failed elementary reading curriculum

- Whole Language - same

- Common Core - which included many ridiculously ineffective math curricula

- Equity Grading

- eliminating homework for racial equity reasons,

- etc.

As is, President Trump’s transition team has nominated a candidate to lead the department.  So you may now all stop the hysterics concerning the departments elimination.[/quote]

Also 30 years of middling test scores. Kids are doing worse and worse. It would be one thing if we weren’t spending any money, but we have spent billions and billions for no improvement in learning. And the poorest kids are doing worse than ever. [/quote]
