The Trump administration says its plan to dismantle the Education Department offers a fix for the nation’s lagging academics — a solution that could free schools from the strictures of federal influence.
Yet to some school and state officials, the plan appears to add more bureaucracy, with no clear benefit for students who struggle with math or reading.
Instead of being housed in a single agency, much of the Education Department’s work now will be spread across four other federal departments. For Donald Trump, it’s a step toward fully closing the department and giving states more power over schooling. Yet many states say it will complicate their role as intermediaries between local schools and the federal government.
Just get rid of the elitism/nepotism at a lot of universities and subsidize/eliminate the cost for a basic 2-yr degree.
2+2=4 in every state in the country. AEIOU and sometimes Y are the vowels in every state in this country. We don’t need 50 states providing 50 different interpretations of basic educational facts.
The educational curriculum in this country should be organized and managed by the Federal government, and the states’ only job should be to implement it. All Americans should receive the same basic comprehensive education, and states shouldn’t be able to customize it to their “values.” Nobody is interested in Alabama’s unique take on American History.
Eh, conversely if California decides to teach something progressive should the federal government be able to restrict that? States can also mitigate shitty federal programs.
Their plans for education in project 2025 are terrible. They want to set up education saving funds instead of funding public ed. People will have to start shopping for an education. Imagine the bloat and costs of colleges but now for preschools.
Yep, this is what they want. All cost of college but for an extra 12 years.
Because everyone knows removing the standards suddenly makes people follow them…
I worry people already don’t know the difference between multiplying and adding bureaucracy.
Oh the irony
