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.We got fat and lazyIn actualitySo, in actuality, there is no need for the DOE - correct?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
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.
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
