Another Department of Waste and Boondoggles.
Keep shrinking it all.
No tax dollars for private Universities.
And let the States and local families choose where their tax money goes.
Federal government hasn’t improved education results since 1979.
it has gotten worse!
“in order to make a more perfect union” We need boatloads of stupid people who won’t question of be able to challenge us, the uber rich religions oligarchs…
Well, a couple of thougts…
One of the reasons for the lack of improvement is that now the pool of those being evaluated is larger. Formerly, states tended to not test or evaluate, or to underevaluate, those whom they suspected (or knew) were not performing well. Inner-city schools, failing rural schools. For the most part, the testing and evaluation were done to college-bound or other more capable students or school systems. Why test you if we know you’re going to fail?
We also have a problem selecting where the money goes. It’s very popular to send funds to charter and voucher programs, but other than some religous-based schools (primarily the Catholic schools, and some Protestant schools) those voucher programs and charter schools tend to do no better than the public schools they replace. Full disclosure: I’m Catholic. I attended Catholic or Catholic-related schools most of my primary and secondary educational career.
But my grandkids attended one of those charter schools for awhile, and as a group the school did not succeed. In fact, I thought the kids slid back half a year. Private or public, charter or public, what is required is an environment of educational success. Strong discipline, uniforms, after school detention, ineligibility for extra curricular activities, especially sports.
In all, other local issues tend to get in the way of educational success, and offset federal fund support. But you don’t have to look too deeply into the news these days to find pro-Trump local officials who are now worried what the loss of Department of Education funding, and school meal funding, will do to their students. And experience taught us years ago state legislatures are not likely to step in as a positive influence. One need look no further than the Indiana legislatures and Indiana Republican governors to see how they would prefer to dumb-down the high school degree requirements and overall educational attainment. It pretty much took the Presidents of the Indiana public universities writing a letter to advise the State Commission on Higher Education their new degree requirements would result in Indiana high school grads not being accepted to public universities to get the degree requirements somewhat restored.
Amazing that so many of us thrived and prospered in public schools, even growing up like I did in a depressed rust belt communities, before there was a Dept. of Education…
Amazing how many prospered thanks to the GI bill too…
Baby boomers, the “pull the ladder up behind us” generation.
And yet so many didn’t…
count your blessings…I bet you had a family that also thrived.
