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....

You need to spend more.  Teaching is not an attractive profession, and enthusiastic people get turned off by the less than brilliant saalaries on offer.  You need to be paying them at least $60k for the shit they have to put up with.  Today's students are tomorrow's workforce, money spent on this is a good investment.
