How will schooling look once the Department of Education is gone? - A continuation of my previous thread, "Should child labor be an option instead of high school?"

Will each state form their own school boards, with some being more open to home schooling and independent teachers while others (Calfornia) going full totalitarian with state mandatory brainwashing sessions?
This is already the case. All the DOE does is take money from states and give less of it back with strings attached.

I have no idea why people think a government agency at the federal level dedicated to education would somehow be all goodness and benefits.

The government doesn't look out for your best interest. It can't possibly do that. You can only hope to propose to them ideas that enrich those slugs and if it happens to benefit you, I guess you cracked the code.
 
Honestly I always thought the individual states and more the local area already handled their own educational programs. Schools get funded by the school district's taxes, run by a local school board, has state run proficiency tests, etc.

If education was a federally mandated program, there shouldn't be such a discrepancy between the education levels in the states. In my opinion, ideally there should be a federal standard for education in that everyone was getting taught the same thing. Not some schools deciding to stop teaching math and some schools getting rid of cursive and other schools teaching that boys can get pregnant.

You dont know why people think that? You're talking about a population who thinks working an office job for 40 hours a week is liberating and that government is why your food and water are safe

We had no department of education during the entire space race. I.e. just return to that system that got us to the moon.
We never went to the moon. Space is fake and gay
 
All Schooling sucks and it has always sucked. Yes, even the supposedly "effective" Asian models (all that does is create mindless worker bees who do the same rote tasks over and over without any ingenuity or spirit). Its a place to send children so they can both be indoctrinated and stay out of the work force.

It turns out the best way to raise children is to have them work alongside their parents/family to learn a valuable trade. You know the way children were raised for thousands of years prior to schooling. The only time schooling is useful is for much MUCH higher education where the only people there genuinely wanted it/have the talent for it, like doctors, scientists, etc. Which is why modern colleges suck because they throw so many people who should have never been there into them to make it worse for those who do deserve/want to be there.

All the department of education did was further push the indoctrination and collude with unions/school administrators to steal tax dollars. So good fucking riddance.

I don't think a significant amount of things will change, really. This is just drumming up buzz in the media and while on surface level it looks severe and damaging, most of the schooling is handled at a state level. There's a reason why schools in Alabama and Mississippi are, relatively speaking, utter ass while schools in New York and Massachusetts tend to be better (again, relatively speaking). It all comes down to how states choose to fund their schools, what curriculum is being taught, and what the quality of said curriculum is.

you are correct, the only problem is, the system with working adults, like that do actual work to provide and survive (instead of indentured servant foe a handful of multinational corporations) doesn't exist anymore
 
There can't be any significant change until we repeal No Child Left Behind (or in my wishful thinking have compulsory schooling thrown out all together)

Depends on the district and state. While there may not be federal standards there are still education standards and testing at the state level. I'd expect california and pozzed schools to continue the awful standards however hopefully going forward it allows some of the methodologies that exist to literally make people retarded like the mental cancer that is "new-math" get axed. It clearly has crippled education for mathmatics.
I have a younger coworker who literally comes to me to solve math problems for him sometimes because he doesn't get how I can do things faster nor can he understand "my math" when he was taught this bullshit. He can't conceptualize what a table is, struggles with percentages/fractions/decimals, conversions, etc. it is genuinely depressing how they have absolutely raped the bare bones basics of education. Bare in mind this has been an ongoing thing and dates back to my knowledge Bush but Obama and other retards have expedited the decay and frankly I'd not be shocked if it goes back further.
In my opinion I always thought this was taught to make people stupid and I can't argue with looking at the results from people I know who went through that shit. While I doubt all schools will drop this shit I hope some do.
