But amen to killing the Department of Education. Even if it was constitutional, judging by the performance of public schools these days, it should be shut down because it isn't doing anything.
Oh, it's doing things. Indoctrination and warehousing come to mind. Babysitting the wee ones so the parents can work an extra job and pay in more taxes.
Also, there was more local control.
I went to a decent public school. Back when I was in high school in the 70s in Texas, the public schools had the best football teams and the best music programs along with decent academics. The private schools did not have those programs.
I’m in California not, and the public schools suck in our area. They don’t have good athletic programs or any arts. They have limited electives in high school. The only foreign language you can take is Spanish. The academics is lacking.
Needless to say, we’re sending our kids to a good private school that has the things that I used to get in public school. However, I will add that the private school is better. It’s Christian, and I love the Christian values being taught in the private school. I know the academics is also better than what I got in public school.
