It needs to go. There is no value added by the money spent in its operation.

While it does not prove causation, there is a direct correlation between the creation of The ED and the drop in US student world rankings

To me the only thing it should do is set MINIMUM standards for education that all schools have to meet.

MINIMUM.

I shouldn't even be a cabinet level position, but should be something like the FDA or the USDA.

Wait, isn't that what they're doing now? Although they are trying to lower that minimum standard.

government getting involved slowed things down?

Education was better before it was formed, and has been worse after, so yes.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

It's needs to be completely dismantled and all it's real estate sold off

Don't you have any faith in your local or state government?

Education is not a federal issue.

 

[Claudette]

There is no Department of Education in the Constitution. It never should have been created.

Let the States run education in their own States.

Shut down the unneeded DOE.

We need to find out the curriculum of the schools in China, then ramp it up to give our poor idiot snowflakes a fighting chance in this world...

if you're looking at the chinese, odds are you need to look elsewhere cause they likely stole whatever it is that has any value.

I see it more as the ability for bare minimums to be equivalent between the States, setting a floor as such.

It has to do with commerce between the States, and the ability of people to move freely between the States, so I see this limited scope as part of the federal mandate.

That being said, the current laws on the books for this could probably be reduced by a factor of 100 to meet the requirements I listed above.

Yeah, but once you start loosely applying the commerce clause, ANYTHING can be deemed regulation of interstate commerce, thereby preempting all state authority.

I think it should limited to processing federal grants, if any.
