Why I support eliminating the Federal Level Department of "Education".

[Unkotare]

When my daughter graduated from my alma mater, dumbass. That was two years ago.

Someone else graduated two years ago and that makes YOU an expert of what goes on in every public school in the country? Damn, you are stupid.

 

[Unkotare]

When my daughter graduated from my alma mater,.....

And were you supportive of her in the years leading up to graduation?
Did you provide a safe home and a healthy diet?
Did you have a healthy, in-tact family?
Did you live in a safe area?
Did you live in poverty?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Why do you assume I don't know that?

In a previous post you said: " They establish dependency and then withhold aid when the locals won't play ball." Those funds are for the poor and special needs students. There is no threat of withholding funds as long as they follow the laws regarding the usage of those funds and that is according to laws passed by Congress.

What the hell does that have to do with Federal control over schools which you support?

 

[Zincwarrior]

You sound like the Taliban

They have a lot in common.

You mean restoring morality, discipline, and accountability into schools?

Saying Trump and morality in the same sentence earns you a special place in hell.

Don't try to tell me what I do or do not support you ignorant, lying little punk.

 

[Unkotare]

What the hell does that have to do with ...?

I knew you'd miss the point, you ******* moron.

Now you're shilling for the ******* Taliban, you scumbag?

 

[GMCGeneral]

How? Our kids did far better before Madaline Murray O'Hair stuck her nose in back in 1962. Back then kids were respectful to authority. Not today. Nothing but a bunch of spoiled entitled brats.

 

[Jarlaxle]

What the hell does that have to do with Federal control over schools which you support?

Nothing. It's unk's usual tactics: deflect, deny, lie, insult. When called on it, jabber like a chimpanzee on amphetamines, lie some more, deflect again, and make half a dozen content-free one-line posts.

Schools, ESPECIALLY private and parochial schools, have every right to pick and choose their students. We should really restart special and alternative schools for the developmentally disabled and chronic disciplinary pupils. Those seemed to work out very well until some namby pamby moron decided they didn't.

Every Special Needs (the developmentally disabled, in YOUR words ) should be sent to a Private School.

We should really restart special and alternative schools for the developmentally disabled and chronic disciplinary pupils......... and Enroll those students in Private Schools.

Now you're shilling for the ******* Taliban, you scumbag?

The Taliban shut down the schools, for girls anyway.

Yeah, exclusively for them. Got it?

No generalization about American public schools is valid. Every State, every school district, and every school building has its own peculiarities, some of which are efficacious and some, not so much. The thrust of this thread is whether the U.S. Federal government has any role in public K-12 education, and it does not. The Tenth Amendment remains in force.

My personal view is that States should have ONE school district, state-wide, and if necessary ONE teachers' union contract State-wide, with cost of living adjustments as appropriate. It is positively bizarre that two districts in the same County should have the huge disparities in funding, facilities, and teacher pay that we see today. It is the State, after all, that guarantees a "free" education to eligible children.

States with large recently arrived immigrant populations need to tailor curriculums to those demographics.

Please educate our youth, for free. Typical.

There's no need for federal control of education.

 

[rightwinger]

There's no need for federal control of education.

Education is controlled by local school boards according to state legislation.
The Federal Govt has very little input
