Most of our educational funding is generated at the local and state level. That is where most educational decisions are made. The Dept of Education provides about ten percent of our educational funding
There is a wide disparity in funding and educational quality between states. Some states do not emphasize education and their children suffer for it. Theses states, which we like to call Red States are the ones who most want to get rid of the Dept of Education. This is primarily because the Dept of Education sets standards that they will actually have to expend money to meet.
All those Red States education systems, like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, Boston, Detroit...
I'll put a rural school up against an inner city school any day...and win.
Those cities also have some exceptional school systems. They tend to suffer because of the diverse populations they have to educate.
When you look at which states do the worst job of educating their students, it os primarily RED states. They also have the lowest per student expenditures. If it were not for the Dept of Education, these states could spend even less on their schools
Education goes by school district, not state.
But thanks for proving you're an idiot.
