And lots who do make that claim eing completely ignorant of what the Dept of Ed duesI'd eliminate it, and I earn a living from education.
And Dept of Ed doesn't "control" anything so that's a hollow pointThere is nothing in the Constitution that gives the Federal Government control of the Education system i this nation.
There is no "therfore" since your premise is bogus to start out with The Constitution gives Congress plenary spending power. And Congress thus can fund the DoEd and states can OPT to participate or not.Therefore it should be eliminated and all power to do with education should be returned to the states where it rightfully belongs.
Realy? So having Kansas force students that care about becoming scientests, to instead be misguied into being taught that "intelligent Design" is a "theory" rather than just a hypothesis?Education belongs at grass roots level. The more input/ responsibility people have in guiding their own lives/ futures the better things turn out. Education is one place where this can be achieved.
So when Newt talks about Federal money for jobs re-training and education...you'd oppose that?Education belongs at grass roots level. The more input/ responsibility people have in guiding their own lives/ futures the better things turn out. Education is one place where this can be achieved.
And again what this means is that we let places like Kansas punish students that want to learn real science and not be indoctrinated into "Intelligent Design" as being a "theory" rather than the mere "hypothesis" that it is.Leave it up to the individual states to handle the education of their residents.
You might want to read up on this before you issue opinions not founded in fact. K-5 curriculum has very little content in it besides Reading and socialization. Writing capabilitie really doesn't develop until early puberty, MATHEMATICAL reasoning (as opposed to arbitrary arithmetic) cannot be conceptualized before puberty - simply because the structures in the brain are not yet developed that can process that information.Too many kids are failing and being passed not to hurt their feelings
So when Newt talks about Federal money for jobs re-training and education...you'd oppose that?
And the goal here is what? The reality is that the Conservative aka "red states" are the ones that are struggling overall with educational attainment. And the issue really is just one of funding equalization. Because if you eliminate the poorest 8% School Districts in the nation from the educational statistics, the USA's results pop up to #2 in the world.I found it hard to vote for this reason:
As much as I agree that the Federal Government should be relieved of it's duty as the executor of education in this country, it would be far more reckless and irresponsible to simply eliminate it. I see some folks wanting the States to restore control to the system. I am inclined to lean in this direction, however the potential for multiple interpretations of educational standards opens the door for a lack of continuity. I beleive this would stand to disadvantage those I would hope we all can agree need to be advantaged.
I propose an independent delegation comprised of 3 elected representatives selected from teachers, principles and administration from each state. These selected representatives are sent from each States Board of Education. It is a rotated selection like jury duty. No one individual gets seniority. The purpose is to bring your best to the table for the betterment of the children. Each Sate is then responsible for the funding and implementation of the agreed upon standard concluded by the education committee. They meet formally three times a year
No you didn't. But you said that you oppose Federal funding of educational efforts. Jobs Retraining is done by the Dept of Ed and you said you would eliminate that. Were you ignorant of the fact that Jobs Retraining is part of what the Dept of Ed does?That's not what I said.
