I’ve been hearing this exact same bullshit from Republicans for three decades.
Calm down bucko I wasn’t lying I just missed that reply of yours. My bad. Mistakes happen.
Again, I understand your talking points but I’m looking for actual execution. Are you saying that if we cut federal funding that will force local districts to fire administrators so that they can afford to pay teachers? And then the end result will be teacher being better compensated?
I’m fine with a state sol system. Teachers aren’t federal employees
So how do the federal funds get to teachers?
Here we go again, same ole, same ole-------------No defense of Biden's failed policies, just another deflection. What Dubya did, has nothing to do with what Biden is doing at our Southern border. For the past 3 1/2 years Biden has begged the third world to send us your worst. His nitwit solution for this invasion is not to close the border but to hire more Border patrol to PROCESS the hoards more quickly. I suggest you bend over and say hello to what is left of your grey matter.
I am saying that everything the federal government meddles in, other than it's specific assigned constitutional responsibilities, becomes more expensive, less efficient and effective, creates unnecessary problems, and/or is just plain messed up. The Constitution does not give the federal government ANY authority to provide or fund education.
Ok, you got your points on why you don’t like the government and want to disband the DOE… now moving forward to the real life effects of what you propose. I’m asking how defunding the schools results in better teachers and education. At some point you need to go beyond platitudes and explain how things will actually work
In my opinion, if the federal government backs out of education, there will be a period of pain because you can't undo really bad policy without producing some of that.
Pain and hope doesn’t sound very reliable. You plain sounds great for affluent community’s that have resources to pay for their schools and education. For communities that don’t have that it sounds like they are going to take the brunt of the “pain” you speak of. I wonder how long they will be impacted and how they survive it. What’s the light at the end of their tunnel of how you see it working out for them? In otherwords how do they get the resources they need to provide decent education?
It works in all communities we have lived and most of them have not been affluent communities.
In which decade did it work best? Maybe we can take a look at that and use it as a model.
I think it works in all decades. But I think we've derailed the discussion sufficiently for this thread which is not about education per se but how federal dollars thrown at problems don't fix anything and usually make things worse. If you are interested start your own thread on education and see where it goes.
Well I am making an argument that providing money and resources to schools is very much needed in many areas not only give the kids what they need but also to hire quality teachers. I’d be willing to listen to a plan to reduce the fed influence but I don’t think I could support the “pain and hope” scenario, especially given who it is who will be feeling the pain
At our county's beginning students were taught in mostly rural one-room schoolhouses. Just how talented and well-paid do you think these teachers were? Getting a great education was possible because the students wanted to learn. Their heads were filled with practicality for the times, not the BS that woke school boards demand today. Pay or talent is not the determining factor for failed schools, it is the kids who are not motivated to succeed.
Do you think that model of how classrooms were then would work in today’s society?
