Trump to pull feds out of K-12 education

President Trump will sign an executive order Wednesday to start pulling the federal government out of K-12 education, following through on a campaign promise to return schools to state and local control.

The order, dubbed the “Education Federalism Executive Order,” will launch a 300-day review of Obama-era regulations and guidance for school districts and direct Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to modify or repeal measures deemed an overreach by the federal government, according to a senior administration official

“With this executive order, President Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to getting the federal government out of the way and returning control over education back where it belongs at the state and local level,” said the officials, who briefed reporters on background in advance of the signing ceremony later Wednesday.

Echoing Mr. Trump’s views on education, the official stressed that since the founding of the U.S., schools were intended to be under state control, but the federal government has increasingly usurped that authority.

Everything in your response is a non-sequitor to my comment. Having Jared and Ivanka being part of the administration opens a can of worms; the charge of “another dynasty like the ones which were rejected”. For heaven’s sake, even George 1 knew enough to not put his sons in the administration.

Great News, Betsy and Trump are doing a great job, the best education secretary ever!

It’s not a non-sequitur. You think Ivanka is a real problem and I think its yet another fake problem - the kind Trump’s enemies keep dreaming up.

Do I need to agree with you to be logical?

What I’m saying is that the Ivanka problem is an unforced problem, and will stand on its own as a campaign issue. It goies to President Trump’s judgement.

Adherence to Common Core is what made the money flow, and even after this is instituted I see the remnants of that failed model taking time to die as the impacts on the populace has been factored in by the State Governments and budgeting.

The next HUGE battlefront is Student Loans which supports the Edutocracy in Colleges and Universities who almost without have never worked a day in their life in the subjects they teach. As we say in the business, those who cannot do, Teach

If you ever see postings by a Freeper named Bruce Deitrick Price I know him personally and he is one of the best in the world in educational change, he recently was brought over to Italy to help them reform their education system as they were in the same sinking boat

Highly recommended, working with him in new Educational models for the market from the top down coming out soon
