They used to work. Then came the Dept of Education. Once created it became a monster. Forcing things like common core and certain standards for teachers that hurt more than helped our kids.
I read somewhere the DOE budget has exploded to over 38 billion. And what do we get for those tax dollars. Nothing. They impede education, put trannys to read to kids in our schools, allow kids to change their sexual identity (as if they really can do that). Yet another total waste and example of how our federal government is out of touch with the rest of America.
