Schools get 2 trillion funds,yet they fail

Why should we keep the Department of Education around?

When it spends about 2 trillion dollars of combined State, and Federal spending...each year!!!?

Clearly the US,does not have issues with teaching children, due to how little we  as a nation spend on the kids.

After all,we are ranked 20th something....

This is what happens when the government has a monopoly on schooling/standards of schooling.
I cant believe people are surprised.
