Trump Preparing to Dismantle the Department of Education?

[The Sage of Main Street]

No, but it SHOULD be.

The results of the PISA testing are rigged and everybody knows it. Once our edumucashun establishment was made aware of how bad, how stupid our students were, they started teaching the test and got PISA to change some of the questions. Everybody knows it.

Fortunately, we have enough students in Private schools that we're able to keep the country running. Virtually all of our current crop of movers and shakers came from the Private education sector of our country.

Even the Private Schools are falling behind.

Blinding Light

Prep schools are an elitist waste of money. Graduates are successful only because of the overwhelming influence of their Daddies' money. Being successful in a failed society is nothing to brag about.

In the Sixties, the heiristocracy realized that no matter how much money it spent on its no-talent dolts like Dumbo Dubya, it couldn't make them any smarter. To avoid obvious showing of mental inferiority, it took over the public schools and dumbed them down to produce results that would make the Preppies seem to be smart in comparison.

Let loans be made by the private sector, who will be better motivated to qualify people for the loans.

Not loans from the corpies, but signing bonuses. Derek Jeter got almost a million dollars to put himself through baseball's equivalent of college education. Non-athletic talent goes through Wall Street's equivalent of indentured servitude.

Bootlicking hypocrites who resent the government paying off defaulted student loans never protested the fact that richkid students never had to take out student loans. Economic sissies have no reason to complain about this issue.

Even sheep would refuse to follow Good Shepherds if it was plain as day that they would be fleeced and butchered by them.

That's just simply a crock of shit. Real life tells us that people that go to Private Schools do much better in life than people who go to Public schools and are exposed to drugs, alcohol and every other form of depravity on the Planet.

Especially when one considers the benign neglect by what passes for teachers in Pubic Schools. Pathetic.

Go ahead, watch someone send little Debbie to a Public School and wonder why she's preggo before she even graduates. Meanwhile, little Danny has Parents that recognized what a piece of shit Public Schools are and, with a little help from our Voucher Program, sent him to a Private School (at a fair amount of sacrifice) from which he is heading off to West Point.

People who say there is no difference just don't have a clue what the **** they're talking about. And those that want to blame Class Distinction are even more clueless.

At least that's what the WSJ sez. I mean, he did promise to do just that on the campaign trail, so here we go.

BREAKING: White House prepares executive order to DISMANTLE the Dept. of Education, per WSJ.

"The officials have discussed an executive order that would shut down all functions of the agency that aren't written explicitly into statute or move certain functions to other departments. The order would call for developing a legislative proposal to abolish the department."

You think the pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth has been bad so far? Just wait for this to start. Academia is the biggest boondoggle, the biggest waste of money in Galactic History.

Know how you can tell? Watch and see who fights the hardest.

The department has spent billions and billions of dollars, only to see our kids fall backward in school learning woke policies instead of the three R's.

 

[BluesLegend]

Wouldn't it be easier to just fire all the registered Dems in government?

 

[Scoutster]

Probably should, based on the latest test scores from students taught by our “great” teachers on the public taxpayer dime.

 

[initforme]

Next should be the dept of commerce.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You mean our kids may actually learn how to read and do math....oh the horrors.

The federal government has absolutely nothing to do with the poor performance of inner city, minority dominated public schools. Doing away with the Education Department will accomplish nothing in that regard. Most teachers and administrators will be glad to see it go.

Did you fail math and never understood the concept of average? If a suburban high school average test score is 97% and an inner city predominantly minority high school in Baltimore averages 23%, what is the average for those schools? It would be 60%! Failing!
Change out the entire faculties of both schools. The suburban school will still be in the 90th percentile and the inner-city school will still be in the 20s. Bus all of the inner-city school students to the suburbs and vice versa. The suburban high school will now be in the 20s and the inner-city school will magically rise to the 90s! Mix the faculties and students bodies of both schools, and they will both rate in the 50s or lower because of increased disruptions caused by the former inner-city school kids.

I taught in every setting of high school imaginable. I have a master's degree in education where I studied school choice and voucher programs all across the country. Those results are predictable to a few percentage points.

Do you know how many rules and regulations that are imposed by the Education Department because of special education funding? My high schools each had one teacher position that's entire function was to ensure all the i's were dotted and the t's crossed on all of the paperwork that those rules created. They never taught a class!

The problem with public schools today is that there are only so many hours in the day. Teaching children LBGTQ+ theory, Critical Race Theory and Equity, Inclusion and Diversity takes up the bulk of the day so that there is little time left for what is considered useless subjects like arithmetic and reading.

Moreover, teaching subjects like science is anti productive to what they want children to learn and take into adulthood. Science and biology will give children the idea that only women can get pregnant. Men are biologically stronger than women. Sex can be changed simply by thinking about it. Dogs and cats can be transgendered.

There is simply no room to teach actual subjects.

Truth is -- Kids lose interest after 20 - 30 minutes, depending on their age. So there has to be some fillers in Classroom subjects. Talking younger kids, here. 1st through 6th grades where the kids are in one room with one teacher all day. Or at least that's how it used to be. Don't know anymore, they keep changing things.

But since depravity is what Teachers learned and were taught in College, they bring that to the Classroom. It's all the originality they have anymore. It's all they got. Especially in the Cities, where the Unions are strongest.

Which is why kids today lack inventiveness, originality or even work ethic..... They've never been exposed to it. All the Teachers want to do these days is get fat, fall asleep asleep at their desks, and kick any kid that shows any gumption at all out of their Classroom. Teachers can't be bothered with Alpha Males, fer chrissake!!! And since --

In the United States, about 89% of primary school teachers are women. This is a larger percentage than middle and high school teachers, where women make up 72% and 60% of teachers, respectively

There is so much wrong with our Public School System that it is beyond saving. It has to torn down, destroyed.

Question #1: Why do you need a four-year degree and the Tens of Thousands of Loan debt that goes with it to Teach Grade School??
