I guess the goal is to keep everyone stupid and poor.
No just re route to other agencies
We can’t have students learning about *actual* history that’s not the American way.
I just read a quote where he said critical race theory or talk of stolen land means he’ll pull funding from that school.
Nothing about how crucial that is even if it needs to be tweaked—because without that, that’s how you have someone like him come to power.

No, it's failing because 50% of a class has an ADHD or autism diagnosis with accommodations that require many resources and the other 50% are ESOL kids with parents at home who don't care if their kids learn English as long as they are in school and not needing daycare for 8 hours a day.
If I still had kids at home, there's no way I'd allow them in public school. The minority of kids, those kids without accommodations, are severely disadvantaged and cannot fairly compete with the kids with accommodations, like extra test time.

Don’t care. Let the red states cover their own Title 1 costs. My blue state can do that and then a lot if they are propping up red state money pits. For what? States ranked 40-50 in education. Let the taker states figure it out.

Don't kid yourselves. This is all about monetizing public education. This will make it easier for for-profits organizations to establish "charter" schools on the public dime.

This really shouldn’t even be a political thing. My great grandmother was educated in a log cabin with a slate and chalk tablet and sharing books. She read and studied insatiably and was very well educated.
This is the plan. The poor will have log cabin schools and the wealthy will have tutors from England.
I think you missed my point. Despite growing up before there was really any class warfare or distinction of “poor” and “rich”, she was extremely well educated in English, Latin, and German. And went onto become a teacher herself. She was probably better educated than most of today’s high school graduates.
I would be happy to have education reform. A lot of the problems that we see in schools now are from failed equity policies. That doesn’t mean we suddenly cut millions of dollars of funds to schools. If anything that will just put the districts into survival mode trying to keep up. They can barely keep up now.

Your great grandmother living in the 1800s is your example of bootstraps? There is more to know now then there was in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Civilization has progressed. If she was “better educated” she would be clueless if dropped into AP bio, chem or physics these days.

And we all know that Trump is planning on supporting teachers by increasing their pay and benefits, because that's how you get good teachers.
I can't even type that with a serious face.
Many of the good teachers have already quit or retired because of burnout due to chaos and enforcing woke policies. Many of the newer ones can't even write competently so they have no business grading essays. Arguing for blanket pay raises makes no sense. If you say that only good teachers should get paid more because this will incentivize more competent people to also become teachers, most people will be on board.
No, they retired because the pay is sh.t and because when they tried to tell parents their brats are not behaving, the parents berated the teachers. Talk about education at home. I can tell you in public without failure who is a MAGA voter by the way they act-whiny and entitled. And they pass it onto their kids.
Two things can be true at once, it can be parenting but it’s also the schools refusal to suspend students due to state and local policy. It has a broken windows effect. Everyone knows there are no consequences.

That's why there's a collective breath holding. A lot can chipped away in 4 years. I'm gonna guess that Project 2025 wasn't for funsies and they've thought about implementation.
