Get rid of the Department of Education altogether...

DOE has the least amount of impact on the quality of education. They are only ten percent of the pie

Local districts and the state get to decide how much they will pay teachers, what programs they will fund, how much they will spend on textbooks and learning materials

Start there when you want to complain about the quality of education
So, in actuality, there is no need for the DOE - correct?
In actuality

We need a Bigger DOE like other countries do

Tens of thousand independent fiefdoms is not the way to educate

Yet, before we had a DOE and all we had were tens of thousand independent fiefdoms our students were the very best in the world. Now, not so much.
We got fat and lazy
The rest of the world began stressing education and caught up

And the DOE has not helped at all...in fact you could say they failed in their main purpose for existing
I'd agree that the fed department needs to be out of the granting biz, and the curriculum should just be a guide developed by actual science, math, etc educators. The Depts' job should be just administering fed aid. And I don't think for profit colleges have any role.

They are only a small piece of our educational system

They have been prohibited from taking a major role in the education of our children.
It is state and local officials who are failing

The "state" of education depends upon the district one lives in. The problem is costs have gone up more than wages, causing tax increases, and not the gop declared war on Blue States, typically with better educ, by killing SALT deductions while increasing welfare for stupid rednecks in red states.
 
Of course low IQ Trump supporters did bad in school, and probably acted up in school. So they don't like school as a result. They also aren't smart enough to realize that education builds a better future.
 
What is DOE supposed to do to improve our education?

They don’t hire teachers
They don’t set pay scales
They don’t write textbooks
They don’t buy educational materials
They don’t set curriculums

All those things are reserved for state and local officials

state and local officials are forced to jump through hoops to keep the DOE happy, thus children are taught to pass test instead of leaning for life. All that matters anymore are the test scores for the government.

Those tests are administrated at the state and national level

It was conservatives who demanded an educational bar that must be passed

It is not about equation, it is about what value the Dept of Ed adds to justify the money spent on them.

Since the Dept of Ed came into being we went from having the top ranked students in math and science to not even being in the top 20.

What are we getting for our money?
 
Created in 1978...and the minute it was created was the minute our schools started to go downhill. It is used to create a nationalized school system, for the purpose of pushing federal *programs* that have nothing to do with education and everything to do with brainwashing, and which supplant actual education.
Public schools had a chance to succeed before the liberals ended segragation. It's been downhill fast ever since.

Draw the connection between the Dept. of Education and our schools going downhill. I heard schools were going downhill in the 60s....well before the Dept of Ed was created.
 
Republicans despise education

They would just as soon turn it over to the church
Our first colleges were created by the church.

If it wasn't for the church, you imbeciles would still be dressed in skins, sacrificing babies and hunting with atls.
Burn any witches lately? Force anyone to go to the state church lately?

I agree actually and let the States deal with it.

Also school vouchers and no public schools at all!

How about if we just do that in red states. Because the rest of the world considers the schools in blue states to be the best in the world.
I've always suggested that all those "wonderful" ideas that CRCs have about education should be tried in Red States for at least 10-12 years.

Bullshit. Your education system started going downhill when you stopped funding it to reasonable levels, cutting education to the bone, disrespecting teachers, and trying to turn them into partisan farms to turn out good little Republican voters. That's resulted in the dumbing down of education in the USA to meet Republican costs and standards in the majority red states, which have the lowest scores in the country.

We've had Republican attempts to declare "ketchup a vegetable" in school lunch programs, so called "Christian schools" which teach Creationism instead of evolution, that the earth is 6000 years old, deny climate change, as well as discriminating against non-whites and gays, because they're private schools and all.

Republicans have politicized education in a way that hasn't happened in other countries, in the guise of giving parents "choice". This, in large part, is why the American workers score so low compared to the rest of the world. Our schools are busy preparing our children to be competitive in the 21st Century. They're getting the instruction in science, history, math and health care, to prepare them for life in the 21st Century. American kids are learning a false history, ignoring the slavery of blacks, the settling of the South-Western USA by Hispanics, the genocide of Native Americans, and other painful parts of your history which are essential to an understanding of how you got here.

My history classes included our troubled history with native peoples, the Riel Rebellion, and other dark chapters of our history which are part of who we are today. The conservative white-washing, literally, of American history is both a lie, and very dangerous one at that.

America is not and has never been a "White nation". It has been a diverse nation since the moment of its founding, and it's time for the Republican Party to stop pretending otherwise.

There is no comparison between a private school education and a public school education for getting students ready for college or the work force. Vouchers are the best way to get your kids a good education. The "apology tour" of liberal educators doesn't help the kids at all. Jobs of the future require more STEM schools.

How many High Schools can field a symphony orchestra??

So you agree that we need to give Public Schools the CHOICE as to whether accept students and/or keep them like Private Schools do.

I'd rather live in the outback or Idaho and Montana than you Democrat filled trashy cities.
