The Department of Education does not fund the schools. It just controls everything about the curriculum. The Department of Education needs to be dismantled. The money per child should follow the child. The local taxes, state taxes and Fed. taxes pay for the schools, teacher's salaries etc. Private schools would be privately owned. Imagine if you could choose what was best for your child.
I do choose what's best for my children now. Don't you? If you are forced by necessity to send your children to public school, what are you going to do if it is eliminated as an option? You do make me wonder exactly how much of my tax money goes to education but I assure you private school is far more expensive.
I don't believe they will be eliminated. The building is there, the teachers are there, ready to be able to teach the children well. We need the federal government out of our schools, school boards and elections. The department of education and the teacher's unions have morphed into something sinister and powerful.
I was conflating getting rid of the Dept of Ed with getting rid of public school altogether. I do still have concerns regarding funding - my state isn't doing so well financially, but I was mistaken. Thank you for your responses. They helped to straighten me out.
