When they get rid of the department, guess what will happen?
Absolutely NOTHING.
The sun will rise, kids will go to school and busses will still run, teachers will still teach, textbooks will still be in classrooms, the building will still be there when the kids show up...
Many of these agencies and departments are political responses after some disaster, where politicians grand stand by pretending to offer solutions to these problems.
In many cases, these departments and agencies would not have even prevented or impacted the situation which was the impetus for their creation.
In the Carter era, education was a big issue in our media. So the department of education was created in 1979. Since then, have you seen common test score improve? Has education really improved?
Billions and billions are wasted in what is basically political theater.
have you seen common test score improve,
depends on what the meaning of “improve” means, it has turned a large percentage of public school students in to permanent welfare slaves too dumb to do anything on their own and wholly dependent on Government to control their pathetic lives
