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....

Yes, that's pretty much what I said, nicely summed up.

No. You need to spend EFFICIENTLY, not necessarily spend more. There's no reason why education should be in such shit shape with the budget it receives! If other countries can get their acts together with their education subsidizing, there's no reason why the US can't. But considering that this is 'Murika, after all, the whole process seems to all get convoluted and fucked up.

I partially agree with you on the teachers.
