DOE...Needs to End...Let the States Fund Education 100%.

[JohnDB]

Let's see,
Student loan program ballooned the cost of education and created "worthless" educations.
Now you are proposing something similar with elementary educations?

??????????????????

 

[Concerned American]

Remember back when we first started the state lottery and the sales pitch was to fund education??? Yeah, that didn't work out

Are you in CA? That was the case in that state. IDK in others.

No, I'm on the wet & wild side of WA. Happened here too.

Lottery started here in 1982 with small games that has since added others. Powerball and Mega wasn't available until 2010.

Like the depth of commerce. Get rid of it.

DOE is the Department of Energy and that is not what you are talking about!

Depth?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That is an excellent point since the majority of Americans are NOT homeowners but they sure benefit from public schools, as baby sitters if nothing else.

Owners of rental property pay property taxes also, so your argument is completely wrong. Everyone pays school taxes via mostly property taxes.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Education should be funded by consumption taxes. That is the only equitable way that ALL recipients of the educational system pay their fair share. It is ridiculous that it should fall solely on the shoulders of property owners.

Who doesn't own or rent property? Other than military bases, I wonder who you are not taxing either directly or indirectly already?

Where didn't it work out? Lottery sales fund a lot of educations in numerous states.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The American Education system has gone steadily downhill since the creation of the Department of Education.

Scump it!

Really? What did they do, other than make states educate the poor and handicapped?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

This thread shows the incredible ignorance of school funding possessed by the average American. That is a tragedy in its own right.

Your play hard at work​

Nearly 40 years since its creation, Washington’s Lottery continues to make a difference in Washington State.

Wasn't the Lottery supposed to pay for schools?

Many Washington State Residents believe Washington’s Lottery was approved by the Legislature with the intent that Lottery revenues be dedicated to schools or education programs solely. While this perception is understandable given the history of lottery legislation introduced in the 1970s and early 1980s, the reality is quite different.
Lottery dollars are a small but important portion of the total funding for education. To learn more about Lottery dollars for education, and how education is funded in our state, visit the Beneficiaries section of our website.



Nothing for k-12

Congratulations to your daughter!

As in my post, even WA pays toward SOME higher educations and to preschools, but nothing for K-12. Does Kentucky's lottery pay anything for k-12??

I don't believe so. I believe it was originally targeted for post-secondary education. My daughter got a full ride from the US Army and the state paid her room and board at college.

If they teach DEI , Gender ID ,and Race ,all Fed funds should be withdrawn.

I believe the majority of funding should be local and states should only step in where funding is needed for poor school districts to keep up with state standards.

I recall when the DOE was created and cries against it. When it still existed after Reagan's administration, I concluded all those cries were just meaningless political rhetoric. It's too bad that it still exists.

The majority of funding IS local.
