EXCELLENT!!
Do the Pell "grants", i.e., the money itself, go to the college??
They fail to mention the part about the DOE has played the main role in kids who can’t read or write and that we’re number 50+/- in the world in education.
No teachers were harmed in this bloodbath.
You don’t need a large department to set minimal standards.
BTTT
It is not just the money that it wastes but more importantly the ideology that it forces on local schools.
There is nothing the DOE does as far as education. Lots and lots of “consultants” given to school systems and grant money for indoctrination programs, but extremely little actual educational benefits of any kind.
I know. I worked with these assholes for several years in the Denver and Colorado school systems. They were all about money and power and extremely little about education. More dollars went to “administration” buildings every time taxes were raised or grant money was provided by the DOE.
The DOE needs cut completely. It never standardized educational programs or advanced the national education programs to a higher standard. The DOE only resulted in money being sucked out of school systems and placed into the political aspects of school systems.
Good teachers are still underpaid while administrative employees make three to five times what a teacher makes.
School books are still in low supply, and good books are rare. Great authors exist but are turned down for school use because the authors do not subscribe to liberalism.
The DOE has also hurt colleges. It is stunning how much garbage the DOE demands of colleges and accreditation programs.
