That's why I think it's asinine when people scramble to get a house in the best school districts or pay outrageous private school tuitions. How you raise your kids is vastly, vastly more important than what kind of high school they attend whether average or good school, doesn't matter. Parenting matters exponentially more to how they turn out academically and professionally successful.
I agree with you for the most part, but when you have an impressionable teenager, the environment he's surrounded by matters too. We noticed this when my son was in 7th grade. He was in a public school and started doing things that he was picking up from friends and and his surrounding environment that we felt that was counterproductive to what we were teaching him at home.
We decided to move him to a private catholic school in 8th grade and he's been doing very well ever since. Now that's he's in the 10th, we feel like he's equipped to make better decisions when he's confronted with peer pressure to make the right decisions.
Parents need to constantly talk to their kids, be involved, and ask questions. I believe a lot of parents allow their kids to be locked up in their room all day, don't engage with them at all, and are clueless as to what they're involved with.

Absolutely right….the issue is not so much who’s standing in front of the classroom as who is standing around him at recess.

Before my family moved, the high school I went to produces very few business/engineering professionals and maybe one doctor or lawyer every 10 years (not exaggerating). I’m not smart at all and would have graduated near the top of my class. This was a very rural area though.
The high school I went to sends kids to elite universities every single year. Lots of doctors and lawyers. I think being surrounded by legitimately intelligent and ambitious kids was very good for me.

The EO doesn't cancel funding dingbat. It simply shifts authority to the states. It clearly states this in section 3 regarding provisions.

We were #1 in the world in education when Jimmy Carter hooked up the teachers unions with the DOE slush fund in 1978. Now we are bottom dwellers with the most money spent per student. DOE didn’t work.

Oklahoma department of education gonna waste so much of it now with no oversite or standards. We're fighting the super woke teachers union of the redest state in America...where we don't even have enough teachers and allow tons of emergency certifications to be the norm due to obscenely low pay. But lee greenwood bibles well buy in $49,999 chunks to avoid having to bid it out.....

A kid's success in high school and college comes down to:

Bingo. All the money in the world does not matter if the local community is a cesspool of crime and poverty. Add to that parents who simply do not care, and it's a recipe for certain failure.

It is going to be interesting. Much like with abortion, when you advocate for state's rights and state control, each state has the control over its education system. The people of those states, via their elected representatives have the say. For better or worse, Federal sway over the direction of education in a given state should be greatly limited. No mandates, no dictating decision making, and no leveraging Federal funding to influence or assert control. When you say "state's rights" you mean it. General oversight is one thing, maintaining the same Federal control we have is another.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. Trust your state representatives, and vote accordingly.

Every time someone repeats this liberal nonsense I know they're gullible morons.
You'll note the left NEVER wants to look under the hood of those numbers to see precisely who is driving the numbers because if they did, they'd have to shut the frick up lest they insult their most reliable voting block.

You are such a gullible dumb@ss. So if you had a brain you would realize that Mississippi like every other state will likely get double the funds they get now. All that wasted bureaucracy in DC and the pay offs to teacher unions will be gone moron!

Texas is 18.3 percent while Alabama is at 17.1 from the feds
Posted on 3/21/25 at 12:32 am to GreatLakesTiger24
These figures are very misleading ..
. California actually receives about $500 more per student from the federal government than Alabama or Mississippi... And by the way, Louisiana is closer to 20% than Alabama.

This is a thread about expenditures required by the federal government.
