Reduced milk and lunches, matching monies, and such. But actual content and methods of teaching have nothing to do with them.
My sister in-law is an auditor for them. She flies around the country auditing stupid nickel for milk or reduced lunch paperwork.
Remember, the DOE was a gift from Carter to the unions and to enrich a bunch of federal eduparasite emplyees who's mandate has nothing to do with education itself. Reagan promised to bury the department and preside over it's funeral but he renigged. Funny that a guy who could stare down Gorbechev at a nuclear arms table backed down from cutting government employees and stupid cost shifting mechanisms.
Could the schools use that money , even some of that money, for educational purposes? Department and of ED has as much to blame, for their bloated system as anyone.
Do you think inner city kids, for example,could benefit from computers, clean schools and highly paid and highly educated teachers?
I think our tax money could be put to better use,and I think the kids should be the ones who benefit from our tax money.
The Department of Ed. does see it that way.
I'm not official or I could charge the state for unnecessary clutter of cyber school material in my house.
