pipedreams Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Among the many campaign promises President Donald Trump has followed through on in 2019 is returning control of schools to the state and local level. While the Federal government is providing about half the funding, they have far more than half the control. Education has been centralized in the hands of the Federal government since Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education in 1979. Certain policies of the Barack Obama administration only further strengthened the Federal government’s stranglehold on education, with the most egregious example being the implementation of incomprehensible “Common Core” standards. You’ve probably seen an unnecessarily confusing Common Core math problem before, and given that Common Core cost $4.5 billion to start, it’s clear that those administering the program ain’t all too great at math themselves. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/apr/26/donald-trump-pull-feds-out-k-12-education/ https://thepoliticalinsider.com/trump-common-core-massive-roll-back/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/record-press-call-education-federalism-executive-order/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holyjohnson Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 hopefully this will make states tighten belts and start deciding which Teachers are actually doing their jobs and keep them. and force a modernized teaching method and less Indoctrination classes (i am an Eternal optimist) most of the problem with K-12 is that the Curriculum changes, but the Teachers don`t, nor do the Teaching Methods because Teachers Unions are so strong and powerful and burrowed into Elected Officials they are never forced to even learn the new Methods. pull Federal money out and make the Teachers and Adminstration earn it back if they want it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exceptionally dangerous. ABSOLUTELY! Nothing is so threatening as when the government tells you what to think, through the schools! Behind every bureaucrat is a tyrant just waiting to get out! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they have the children they have the future. Himler said the same thing about the Lebensborn system in Germany. Children with the proper features were taken from their doomed families and adopted into SS families.
