House repubs advance bill that would eliminate 220, 000 teacher jobs

[DGS49]

How many times do people need to be told that federal money is a tiny part of educational funding?

Depends on the school district. Same for State funds. The OP claims that withdrawal of Federal funds will eliminate hundreds of thousands of teachers. So you disagree with that?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Would anyone care to cite the provision in Article I that gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds on public education? Hint: There is no such provision. The Department of Education, and everything it does is unconstitutional.

Second, there is no indication whatsoever that more funding improves educational outcomes. Indeed, America is spending more on education, no matter how it's measured, than we have ever spent before, and the results just keep getting worser and worser.

The best thing that could ever be done for American education is to abolish all teachers' unions, the authorization of which has been the worst innovation in the history of American education.

Withdrawal of unconstitutional education support by the Federal government will result in ZERO teacher jobs lost. Lots of worthless administrators, but if teachers lose their jobs over this (which will probably never happen), that will be the States' doing, or the individual school districts, and not the DoE's.

The Committee in question should simply propose the elimination of all education spending, and let the states sort it out when it happens. The Feds have no legitimate role in education, or in funding it.

What does the Department of Energy have to do it?

Horseshit, the Fed gets to dictate curriculum. Face it! Ever since the Department of "Education" was formed, specifically as payola to Jimmah Cahtah by the NEA and associated filth in 1978 for their 1976 endorsement, quality has been circling the bowl. Bill Bennett tried in vain to address this, much to the opposition of Tip' O'Neill and company.

Not true.

Not true.

No, very true. They pony up the dough, they get to tell us what to do, just as the Left want.

As I said - WRONG.

 

[Unkotare]

wrong.

Federal funding is a very small part of the funding for public schools. Most comes from local property taxes.

 

[GMCGeneral]

wrong.

Then why all the PC and woke bullshit? The ONLY conclusion is that it comes straight from DC. "Push our agenda or else!!!"

 

[Unkotare]

Don't demonstrate your ignorance then ask why. Find out what is true before shooting your mouth off.

 

[Unkotare]

... The ONLY conclusion is ...

Apparently it's that you are seriously deficient in logic.

Nope, know full well that since 1978, the education system in the US had been circling the toilet bowl ever since Carter formed the Department of Education. Now our kids are dumbed down so much it makes them easy prey.

So you know more about it than actual teachers? Really?

 

[Winco]

We have an education system? Have you talked to any kids recently?


Probably because all the good ones go to private schools to get away from the DoE.

Yup, I talk to students every day.
I know that you don't.
You don't volunteer at any school, or do you?

The students are 'selected' in a private school.
The teachers in a private school are no better or worse than public school teachers.

100% untrue.

What new claim. Public Schools are nothing but anti American indoctrination centers.

Bullshit.

Bullshit.

You cannot prove otherwise

Yes, I can. I’ve been teaching for 30 years in different places and I can tell your ignorant ass clearly and directly that you are wrong.
