What good is the 67,200 Million $ Department of Education?


Well, at a cost of 67,200 MILLION dollars last year, the department of education is worth looking at again.

From the departments own words. Its purpose is to
1.Establish policies reguarding federal financial aid, administers, and monitors those funds.
2. Colects and oversees research on americas schools, and gives this info out.
3. "Identifies major problems" in schools,and "focuses national attention on them".
4. Enforces federal anti descrimination policies reguarding school and loans

After these descriptions, comes a quote from ed.gov
("Under the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Nothing specific is said about education in the Constitution; therefore it falls outside federal authority.")

So why are we spending SO MUCH on a program that does SO LITTLE, and in its own words, is not legal!

Arrrgh! Don't get me started on this one.. or anything the federal govt. has their grubby fingers in.. where they don't belong.. (and it seems they've been in places where they don't belong.. and it's almost everywhere)

I say let the states handle the education. And give parents school vouchers and let them decide where they want to educate their children. I think home-school is great if the parents have the time and the ability to teach their children. But it should not be the federal govt.'s decision where to put the children to school. It should be the taxpaying parent's decision.

Read #10. It says it all.

My kids are home schooled, by the way. I prefer to indoctrinate my kids with MY values!

To US: Sounds an awful lot like Hillary's "It takes a village.." speech. The day this government starts trying to tell me how to raise my kids is the day we're outta here. As for everyone else's values, who is anyone to judge how someone raises their kids? That is pure communism, my friend.

The federal department of education should simply be reduced to ensure anti-discrimination and to oversee research in schools. It should not cost 67 billion dollars a year, it should cost less then 5 maybe even 1. Let states tax citizens the amount the citizens want to spend on schools.

p2of9 while I love the idea of giving my kids my values, I do not however trust every person to give their kids valuable values. There are certain people that should not be able to teach their kids, to the point where their kids would live a far better life if their kids did not get their values.
