But explain to me how ridding of the DOE will help the children.

You remove the funding, that has been used to twist the curriculum

Special Ed funds dictate discipline. And since your worst kids usually end up under that label, they become virtually untouchable. Because get this, the DOE says that impulse control is part of their condition. Therefore, they cant be disciplined for their erratic behavior

DOE controls zoning. They move programs around, so that low performing schools can "recruit" kids into magnet schools. So they can raise their scores. Your school has 19 kids that qualify as gifted? OK, send them downtown, rather than hire a teacher to serve them at home. Some will say, this is a local decision, but in almost every case it is driven by lack of money for teachers, or meeting DOE improvement goals

DOE controls funding. You have to meet their goals when applying for funds, rather than the needs more specific to your school community.

They suck up all the air in the room, because they fund so many unnecessary staff positions. Which in turn forces districts to follow narratives, rather than teach kids. Like the tranny bathroom issue. Which forces locals to use their funds to fight against the DOE army of employees. Yet again reducing the amount of funds for learning

Explain how getting rid of it will hurt education. There's zero evidence that it has helped.

Has the DOE benefitted the children? No. Our quality of education has fallen below the rest of the first world during the 46 years of it's existence.

Does spending $52 billion annually with ZERO result seem fiscally wise?

If the cost to fund the K-12 education of a student would’ve stayed on the same trajectory as the $57,602 in 1970, we’d be spending over $400,000 per student (marked for inflation and economic growth). However, that same $164,426 that stands in 2010 translates to $30,000 in 1970. Our education funding is not keeping up. Posting graphs without context is how misinformation spreads. Don’t even have to spend $400,000 per student, but logically speaking, everything has gone up in price across education (beyond proportion I might add) except public school funding

US education ranking the year before the creation of the department of education, #1. It's fallen every year since

Who is gonna push kids to get back to the 3Rs?
Who is gonna make the kids pass the coursework?

Either their parents will or no one will.

And no matter how many government agencies you have or how much money you spend on education, that's the reality of it.

The truth of the matter is that past about sixth grade, school should be 80% online and self-directed. We're wasting billions hanging on to this antiquated system, primarily because the public schools are a taxpayer-funded babysitting service.

And yes, my undergraduate degree is in education.

Are you saying that government pouring more money into a school district translates into better grades?

Charter Schools = Profit

Social justice awareness isn’t indoctrination. We all learned about the civil war and slavery. We all learned about the civil rights movement, women’s suffrage, etc etc. America legit is a tale of social justice from its inception. We should want to look at our past and learn so we don’t make similar mistakes and grow together. You’d think we’d learn our lessons after we keep on making the same damn mistakes over and over and over again
