Under this department education in the US has fallen dramticaly. The states should be overseeing their education. Parents and communities should be engaged and involved.

The entire educational system was designed by the Rothschilds/Rockefellers who decided what information should be brainwashed into kids and what information should be withheld. Most of what they teach is useless or geared towards fulfilling a specific agenda (of theirs).
I have observed MANY university graduates who can’t write a coherent letter, can’t spell, can’t do simple math without a calculator, don’t have basic knowledge in most subjects. It’s a complete embarrassment. They don’t know how to think critically. They are all deliberately dumbed down so that by the time they enter the workforce as adults, they become easy targets for control and manipulation.
Kids and teenagers should be encouraged to learn on a continual basis instead of focus on texting, creating youtube videos, posting on instagram and such crap.
These kids need to learn how to use their brains. A rounded education covering all subjects and topics as well as pragmatic skills to create a strong foundation from early childhood, followed by focused development of talents and skills exhibited by each individual.
Homeschooling should be available as an option decided by parents.
These kids are the future of humanity. At this rate, it’s looking pretty scary.

I believe children should be left alone to play and learn directly from their community, parents and friends until they are 10 or so. I think people would be surprised how much kids learn when they are left alone, as well as how much they learn just because they want to.
Children are designed to learn - adults quash that curiosity by not allowing kids to learn what they want to know, but by forcing them into rigid boxes. What school teaches them is to shut up, listen, obey, and ask permission to do anything. No wonder people can’t think for themselves; they are taught to regurgitate general information and the teacher’s opinion, not have opinions or thoughts of their own.

The state of public education in Texas and across the U.S. reveals a deeply flawed system, hampered by overreach from federal to state levels that has ultimately hindered, rather than helped, both teachers and students. Programs like No Child Left Behind, while well-intentioned, have created an environment where excessive testing and bureaucracy take precedence over actual learning, leaving students no better prepared for college or careers than they were decades ago. Texas exemplifies these issues, frequently ranking around 45th out of 50 states—possibly even lower—which speaks volumes about the state of its education system.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) requires teachers to adhere to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) curriculum, a comprehensive set of standards meant to standardize learning. However, the sheer volume of TEKS objectives forces teachers to rush through an overwhelming amount of material, leaving students without the opportunity to fully master key concepts. This approach contributes to widening learning gaps, as students are pushed from one topic to the next without a solid foundation.
The emphasis on standardized testing also sidelines essential life skills and critical thinking. In Texas, basic skills like cursive handwriting were removed from the curriculum years ago, symbolizing a broader shift away from foundational proficiencies. As a result, many students graduate unable to construct sentences or write essays, raising serious questions about the system’s priorities.
Moreover, the education system has become a significant revenue stream for testing vendors and corporate interests, shifting focus from the actual needs of students and teachers to profit motives. This shift has fueled concerns that the system’s primary goal is to create a workforce for entry-level jobs rather than cultivating critical thinkers and leaders. Preparing future generations for success in a rapidly changing world demands a major overhaul of our education system. Real reform would prioritize depth over breadth, emphasize essential skills, and nurture critical thinking to truly empower students for the future.

Absolutely! I pulled my now grown children out of public school back in 1998! I was able to teach them the Bible, and only things they need. All five of them are productive members of society, 4 work trades and one is an RN. They own their own homes, the married ones have children and are homeschooling them,
None of them has been in trouble with the law, none of them has taken drugs (that I know of​:slightly_smiling_face:) And four out of five voted for Trump.

As a special education teacher I generally agree, however we have to do it in such a way as to ensure that our students with disabilities continue to receive a free appropriate public education. Special education is overseen at the federal level and most of us are paid from federal Title I funding. We must protect our most vulnerable students and the teachers who serve them.
Let’s have SCHOOL CHOICE! Be free to put our tax dollars where we want our kids educated .
