My best friend is a teacher at a private Catholic school. So I'm not sure how that works with the DoE, but he doesn't believe Trump will actually close it, but rather that it's another position for him to fill and that he may tone the dept down, but not fully close it.
He also says we have the highest per pupil spending and we don’t rank near the bottom. When I told him about how the US ranking dropped when Carter made the DoE, he said, "Interesting you mention that time frame USA was first few countries to require k-12 education for all its citizens as as a right
So as other countries caught up it more balanced out". He also mentioned "I think it’s for every dollar your taxes go towards education you see a return or $3 over 10 years" and "In fact if you doubled the education spending it would create a surplus in about 30 years".
I don't work in education so I have no idea if that's true or not.
