Fun fact captain retard. Since the department of education was created under Jimmy Carter the us has gone from no 1 to near the bottom in the world yet outspending the rest of the world

Perhaps if they spent less time grooming kids and teaching woke bullshit and getting back to the basics we’d be ranked higher and spend far less money

The underlying problem with the education problem is the a lot of kids especially in the inner cities don’t have any home support or parents who sit with their kids to help them in reading and math. Hence low scores, high absenteeism and high truancy and behavior issues. You can spend all of the money in the world but until they solve the above test scores will continue to plummet.

Q whispering in your ear again, Gomer? Time to show up at Cosmic Pizza with your AK47 to rescue the kids before the Hollywood elites and Democrats get to them. 99% of the RINO MAGA cult couldn't define "woke" if you held a gun top their empty heads.

So you can’t refute any of the facts in this thread and resort to gibberish. Classic retard lib

No doubt that is an issue but throwing more money at the problem and dumbing down education through the DOE is clearly not the answer

it makes you wonder why the left criticized and mocked the importance of the traditional nuclear family stucture.


hmmm, maybe having two parents at home is a good thing, who would have ever guessed..

Correct and the people in charge can’t figure out how to fix the problem. They keep throwing money at the problem and hope it goes away. IMO the DOE could solve a lot of the problems but lack the back bone to do it because if they call out the absentee parents then they be called racist or picking on the poor and the woke swat police will be knocking at the door

When you want to create a nanny society where the government supplies everything including child care, this is what happens. Parents get lazy. And 50% divorce rates, not to mention how many out of wedlock children there are. I know it is old fashioned and old man yelling at clouds, but having a mom and dad at home, having dinner nightly with the kids and not using social media to glorify every event wasn't a bad thing. Because where we are today with the destruction of the nuclear family is certainly not "progress".

Yep. Agree with you. It does start at home. It is why rich, white kids do better, because their parents demand their kids to do better over inner city blacks.

Sorry...just posted a more long winded post that says the same thing.

trying to diminish it is one thing, the left went so far as to push nuclear family as a bad thing, as racist. it was a comical and pathetic attempt to whitewash one of, if not the biggest, issues facing the black community..

Maybe parents need to spend more time with their kids, teaching them and nurturing them as they should have been doing instead of relying on a corrupt school system to do their jobs for them.

Much of value that the DOE had been doing can now be better accomplished under NIH, Commerce, other departments. DOE does very few things that add value to education or children's lives. So it should be an easy transition and done quickly. Thus, the DOE is obsolete and irrelevant.

Just send the money to the states and leave the DC bureaucrats out of it completely.

The only way to break the viscous cycle of shitty parents raising shitting kids who become shitty parents is to send the kids to boarding school where they have a safe environment to learn and grow in. But that will never happen in the Dem welfare state designed to “keep them in chains” as LBJ said

well technically, it's the teachers and the schools job to educate the kids. That's why they get paid. but they dont, or wont, so yeah, parents need to do the teachers work.

while the kids hang out at school for 8 hours. i swear, my kids in elementary school, it was beach day or pajama day 3 xs a week. how about less pajama days and more "learning days?"

 

[Richard A]

I don’t know if the schools are corrupt. The parents are trying to run the schools and even each classroom. If the parents think the schools aren’t doing their job then home school their children. There’s absolutely no discipline in the schools and that also starts at home. I had a neighbor in the 90’s who taught at Brashear High School. At the time he was in his mid 50’s and he was taking advantage of the 30 and out option to retire early with full benefits. When I asked him why he was retiring he said that he didn’t want to teach the first generation of crack cocaine kids.

My son teaches in a Phoenix area school district. When he was hired he was told don’t ask if they are legal or not no homework because they don’t have support or speak English at home. Just pass them. He teaches in English and someone else translates. He’s totally frustrated.
So different from when I was growing up. If you acted up in school and your parents found out you got beaten when you got home. Now discipline a school kid and they call child services.

good post but this isn’t isolated

It’s why homeschooling is rapidly growing in popularity

Public schools in America have 19 year old freshman lol. What a disgrace.

look beyond the states and look at the demographics within those states. Then you’ll start to see much clearer.

I though you were a Republican?

That's my point. Teachers aren't doing their jobs any longer. Few, if any, know how to teach reading, writing and math. I don't ever recall a day or a class where we weren't learning something or taking tests to determine what we needed to learn. We had recess for 15 minutes, then back to work. In elementary school! But when we graduated to jr. high and high school, we could actually read and write the English language, do math problems, and did know the difference between a boy and a girl.

Ask a kid now to diagram a sentence or find the square root of a number. Or just do long division. I know...it's old-fashioned but it made us LEARN and understand what we were learning.

Home schooling is becoming more prevalent now, as it should be. And now, it is more the parents' responsibility to teach their children since teachers don't know how to do that or won't.

Here's a fine performance that some on here may recognize that gives the message. This was when they had great music you could listen to and actually hear the lyrics.

Homeschooling is becoming more prevalent because parents are getting goofier. Most of them are as dumb as you.

Lol, it's the blue cities. Within red states given federal money

If Dodgers had highest payroll in the league and came in bottom 25% of league year after year everyone would get fired and or try something totally different.

Are you pretending that rural red areas aren’t just as bad?

Nooooo, it's middle class parents, poor parents, rich parents staying together, regardless of skin color that create environment for kids to do better in school.

I'm sure there are subpar rural red areas

[Fk_Pitt]

it’s disingenuous to define them as red areas, as that implies politics come into play. The fact is that demographics are why impact the test scores:

The demographics of Southern states can influence education test scores, as demographic factors such as race, socioeconomic status, and parental education levels often correlate with academic performance. Research consistently shows that these variables play a significant role in shaping standardized test outcomes, including scores on assessments like the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).

In the Southern United States, states often have higher proportions of Black and Hispanic students compared to other regions. For example, states like Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama have large Black populations, while Texas has a substantial Hispanic population. These groups, on average, tend to score lower on standardized tests than their White counterparts, a pattern observed nationally. This can be attributed to a variety of out-of-school factors, such as poverty, limited access to early childhood education, fatherless homes and lower median family incomes, which are more prevalent in some Southern states. For instance, Mississippi and Louisiana rank among the poorest states in the U.S., and poverty is a strong predictor of lower test scores.
