Should the Dept. of Education be eliminated?

Let the record show that the USA is near the top on spending for education.

Norway reported the highest total expenditures on education institutions as a percentage of GDP (6.6 percent), followed by Chile (6.5 percent), Israel (6.2 percent), Australia (6.1 percent), and the United Kingdom and the United States (both 6.0 percent).

You seemed to know a few posts back when you said this: "Poor education does not follow race lines, Mr Woke." - copier addict

By the way, you're wrong about that and shouldn't make that statement when it's not backed up by facts.

What do ya know. In this instance your race bating is vindicated. That must make you happy.

Re: Should the Dept. of Education be eliminated?

But why is that? Why does the USA rank near the top on spending for education but not near the top in results? The Dept. of Education has been around forever.

Just look at Florida. The governor doesn't want children to learn real facts so he has created a curriculum of "alternative facts" to teach, so upon graduation the students know nothing real. That's just one example.

There is too much politics allowed in the US educational system.

Please stop with the BS. This problem goes way back before DeSantis and the dems who teach alternative facts - Trannies are real women. And the porn being distributed by democrats. While interesting, it has nothing to do with the problem being discussed.

I'm not sure what this rant is, so I have got some things to do.
Have a great day.

Let me spell out the main problem with the poorly educated. It starts at home. When you come from a broken home you're at a disadvantage. Until that's fixed, we're pissing in the wind.

More than half (51.2%) of all Black children lived with one parent in 2022, compared with about one in five (21.3%) of white children.

It should also be noted that democrats have blocked school choice at every turn. Only now that they're losing are they interested in changing. They don't care about your kids, only maintaining power.

Yes look at Flordia
Where does Florida rank in education?




In 2023, U.S. News released its Best States ranking, which lists Florida as the top state in the countryAug 28, 2023

Re: Should the Dept. of Education be eliminated?

Do we all agree that teacher-to-student ratio is important to learning? Yes?

Now, how does a massive influx of illegals affect learning? We're flooding schools with illegals that can't speak English. It's not a recipe for success.

X rated reading material is not the facts that children need to be learning in K through 12.

Well you got that right. Since the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, created in 1953, was replaced by the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services the number of non academic requirements in K through 12 has grown considerably. It is time back to teaching reading, writing, math and all history. And return full control of local schools to the locally elected school boards who are answerable to the local parents.

This is not a knock on copier addict, but I sometimes forget that he doesn't live in the USA and lacks knowledge on many issues. This was never more clear than in this thread.

I would be negligent if I didn't point out that he has an agenda and isn't really interested in talking about real problems and solutions. He's more interested in bashing folks like Trump and DeSantis. Why attack Florida on education when the kids making the lowest scores come from inner-cities run by democrats?
