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

[dblack]

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

They need to have less. ie none.

The Federal Government has done mean things like enforcing Civil Rights, rights of the handicapped and school safety.

Bastards….how dare they?

That's it? OK. Good talking to you.

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

Not really.

 

[rightwinger]

That's it? OK. Good talking to you.

i have no problem educating you

 

[Woodznutz]

Not really.

Aren't you an ESL teacher?

There's no need for federal control of education.

There is no federal control general primary education.

They do supply funds through grants for low income schools to help fund teachers in poor communities and provide some funding for Special Education needs. The feds are not in control of general education.

And those "grants" always have strings attached, hoops to jump through, requirements to be met. The government takes money from us in the form of taxes, and then gives it back - but only if we do as we're told. That's control.

They should have ZERO input

 

[Woodznutz]

Yes.

That's a major curriculum change for schools across the country that never needed it before, and at great cost.

Language support, including bilingual education stretches back to the Colonial Era.

 

[Woodznutz]

How about cultural support within the curriculum, and doesn't that fly in the face of assimilation?

 

[rightwinger]

They should have ZERO input

When they had zero input we got things like school segregation

School segregation in public schools is a Constitutional violation. There's no need for a federal bureaucracy to combat it. Just the Court.

Segregation completely eliminates racism in those schools. Also this,

How about voluntary segregation?

 

[Frankenstein]

For the Historically atrophied Left, the entire department, a well as the Cabinet level position were both formed in 1978 by Jimmah Cahtah as payola to the NEA and teachers' unions nationwide for their 1976 endorsement. Since then, Educational performance has been circling the toilet bowl with no end in sight.
Ebonics, Outcome-Based Education, Common Core, NCLB, etc. Standards keep right on getting lowered and lowered. Now with the uptick in homeschooling, charter school enrollment (bear in mind Charters are very much public schools, but with much higher standards for both student AND teacher accountability), and the push for vouchers (which BTW I support), the Left has a boogeyman-school choice. Both the Education department AND Cabinet level Secretary need to be shitcanned and full 100% control of the schools need to be returned to the local and state level.

Oh it's not because they already tax us for education and then, city schools pass levies to pay for new facilities

How about voluntary segregation?

Voluntary is voluntary. I don't condone it, but if people want to hide in their bubbles, that's up them.

New facility requests are usually subject to referendums.
