One only needs to look at the communication on Twitter done by certain sectors of society to realize that money going into education is a collosal waste.

I’m not certain what the answer is, but pumping $15,000 a year per student into these soon to be felons, welfare queens, or drug pushers is not helping.

Perhaps they could have kids learn some trade like welding, instead of traditional education.

What do you have against welders? Most of the welders I’ve known work hard and earn an honest living?

There is a core argument that wasn't mentioned. Two years after the children “graduate” from Head Start there is virtually no academic difference between those who attended Head Start and those who didn't. And that was the finding of a government paid report.

IMHO that fact proves that successful education is a three way street involving parents first, students second and teachers third.

An average annual salary and benefit package of $ 78,000 ($ 39 an hour) plus to participate in a failed program?

Enough said.

Giving pre-schoolers an arc welder or acetylene torch might be problematic, don't you think?

They will need those skills to build more indoctrination camps.

The money going into education is mostly to buy the educrat vote. The remainder is to create an appearance.

We should shut down the Dept. of Education and get the Feds entirely out of education. Leave it to the States and the People.

My wife and I disagree about this all the time. She thinks EVERYONE should go to college and get a degree of some sort. Me, I know not every teen is made for school. There is nothing wrong with going to a trade school after graduation. In fact, I see nothing wrong with identifying teens who are not suited for a traditional classroom setting, for whatever reasons, and sending them to votech schools.

A single well trained plumber is worth more than 100 Liberal Arts degree holders; probably more.
