The federal government is not supposed to be a jobs program. We can’t afford the bloat.

Are states usually responsible for enforcing federal laws? Because a number of states proved very bad at that for decades.

In which case has a state neglected its responsibility to enforce Title IX laws “for decades”?

A number of states refused to desegregate their schools as ordered by federal law for decades.

That’s not ED. That is state funded CFSA agencies that lock parents up for disciplining their children. I have heard at least wi kids say they would call CFSA on their mother if she would not let them do what they wanted.

School administrators should get locked up for allowing violent kids to repeatedly beat up teachers and other students. Throwing desks and chairs gets no consequences for the perp.

Teacher here, who is home sick today. There is no plans for us to call in sick over this. Stop fear mongering. We had meetings at school and they said it won’t affect the budget as much as people think.

I, personally, am in favor of charter options. Public schools have done downhill in VA in the past ten years and no I am not a troll. I am a real teacher and a parent and yes, my kid has an IEP.



This is why you are just a teacher. In many states, counties full educ budgets is from the federal government
which ones?

Zero.

Schools are for learning, not for violent behaviors terrorizing everyone else.

The parent of violent kids must take their child out to keep everyone else safe.

That’s how it used to be before the Dept of Education popped up.


Which medical facilities are those? Who funds them? Who staffs them?


We used to have special schools (and institutions) for those kids with significant behavioral and emotional needs. Now many of them are sitting in regular classrooms disrupting the learning process for others.

Yes. So are you proposing that we reopen those? And if so, who will fund them and staff them?


School systems can use the monies they have to open and operate them and pay teachers more to work in them..

School system funds are being cut everywhere and you all seem to support nuking the Department of Education which also provides funds to school systems. Where is this money coming from?


I would much rather have state taxes and local property taxes fund it than everything going to DC and getting lost in the shuffle of big federal departments.

Exactly. The Education Department is dumbing down the kids.

Again, why are schools no longer allowed to have parents pick up their violent kids?

Yes. Defund the unions, and fund separate facilities for violent kids.


Or kick the S out of your kids a couple of times and let them know their crap is unacceptable.


Military/Military School will instill discipline.

Trump was shipped off to military school. What's your excuse for how that fixed him?


For his day and time, boarding schools for girls and military schools for boys were not unusual choices for families with money.

None of his siblings went to one.

I taught Title I a decade before the Department of Education was formed by Jimmy Carter.

The public law regarding Special Education was put into effect several years before Department of Education.

The Department of Education has contributed nothing but more bureaucracy.

The funds were there prior to Dept of Ed and they will be there after. The Department of Education does not print the money for the students. But, they are responsible for making a mess of student loans and creating more paperwork for teachers.

Facts matter. Thank you.

And yet they did take it away from the states. And have gotten rid of most of the employees before giving the power back to the states. Not very well thought out, hmm?

No. If states had the legal authority to deal with state issues, they would. DoEd took away state authority. You are fooling no one.


I'm not disagreeing but you think the remaining few employees at Dept of Ed have time for a Title IX complaint? Bwahahaha. This is just a campaign talking point for Youngkin. He knows it won't go anywhere.
