True but I my thinking is the older ones weren't putting themselves out there so much, I think they also knew it better to stay behind the scenes and let your professionals do the talking. Particularly before the 1980s when the CEO wasn't simply the head executive but became a magical person with fairy powers.
There is a localized component to education, a one size fits all solution is troublesome.
Yes of course but there is such a thing as standards and guidance which is how the DoE generally worked. Can you point me to another countries education system that works on a local first model without a central agency of some type?
That at most maybe the feds could pay for some one time expense, like building and equipping a new school building. But never for ongoing expenses like teacher salaries and such, then the strings will follow.
You said the thing and made it scary but you can't fool me, you didn't actually describe the strings (because they don't really exist). You just said the Feds pay for a new building so, yeah, the locality gets a new school building but they still have to collect local taxes to pay for schooling. That's public schools. The Feds spend the money because they have access to money. That's why so many poorer states are net receivers of government money and wealthier states pay more in taxes, because for example education shouldn't be based on how much money your parents have.
Also after Nixon/Kennedy LBJ came in and showed them both wrong and did the thing anyway.
Education results declined under the guidance of the control of the federal government.
Even if I take this as a true statement it doesn't justify the dismantling of the DoE, it doesn't disprove the need for a central agency and it doesn't prove a local only model is better. In fact I would say that is already proven wrong by the huge disparities between outcomes between the states. Maybe the issue the Fed's were not intervening enough because the *Feds don't actually run the schools* I can't stress that enough.
Also note that funding assistance for impoverished areas did not begin with the Dept of Ed.
I never said it did but what department is best equipped to understand where the money for education should be spent than a department with a focus on education.
Again, lets look at all the nations who are outperforming the USA in education. Do they have more standardized control or less?
If there's one thing about the new crop of CEO's it's that they all really think they are cooler and more insightful then they actually are.
He may be wealthy beyond my wildest dreams but the best way to convince someone Peter Thiel shouldn't ever be near the levers of state power is to show them an interview with Peter Thiel.
For real, why is this news, it's a press release. It's like asking the owner of Kunkleman Chevrolet if we should all buy new cars and which brand is the best.
It'd be nice if there was a Federal department for these types of things, one who could collect and provide such data and guidance for state and local school districts who lack the funding and resources to study these things on the scale needed. Let's call this imaginary place, oh I don't know, let's go with Department of Education. Oh well, no such luck there.
Holy ackshually guy. Didn't know I was talking to a bunch of ESL folks. I misused the word but explain notice what they (purposefully) misunderstand has nothing to do with that.
But good on you, you sure showed me!
who's doing the enforcement?
Gotcha, it's a conspiracy of course.
Once AOC is President you have to use they/them under penalty of catapult.
They were all voted in by the people. The people fucked it up and the people need to fix it instead of just blaming their government.
You're using a racially motivated incident from 60 years ago as your excuse?
The storming of the Capitol a few years ago is a better example. Of the opposite.
You want me to show this to the cat, and have the cat tell you what it is? 'Cause the cat's going to get it.
Those two people are running on 2028? Call Wapo you got a hot scoomp
