When you’ve stopped teaching the basics you’ve failed. Any honest teacher should know that.
Way much more than 1,150-1,200 coast to coast. New Jersey has 600 school districts by itself.
Now I get he means departments, not boards of education.

Not just abolish the Department of Education but take a serious look at the various colleges of “Education”
If you believed that phonics was an important teaching tool you might still be able to earn a BA in Education but an MA or a Doctorate in Education, EDU forget about it-and a teaching position in a college of Education-impossible.
I hope getting rid of the DoE is just a start. Alternatives to earning teaching credentials need to be developed. Also, if you are teaching in grades 7-12 you are required to earn a BA or BS degree with a major or minor in the field of teaching and within 10 years an MA or MS in your field.

For those born as of the Fall of The Berlin Wall,used to be that each state ran the education department as to the major industry within the state. For example, Wisconsin was farming. The NY/NJ/CT Tri-state area was business, manufacturing. Also within the Tri-State area, some school districts had one of the high schools set up as a trade school..electrician, plumber, carpenter,auto mechanic.
Th graduate with a diploma, and an apprenticeship in a trade, recognized by the local trade unions.
Not a bad start.
What is he talking about?
I have not seen anybody from the administration ask Congress for an abolish bill, and no abolish bill has been passed.
The department will live on without an abolish.
DOE is just a jobs program for people who make a living out of doing nothing useful.
I would love to see EX-MILITARY go into INNER CITY SCHOOLS and TEACH!! There would be DISCIPLINE and ACTUAL LEARNING, instead of these fat old black Democrat women that have no idea of how to teach.
