I’d first ask: What is the goal of education?

Interestingly, the issue is never discussed by the GOP candidates, and certainly GOP promotion of charter schools would gain them some votes from places typically Democrat.

Expecting Marxists to be consistent on anything is a fool’s errand, because lying is the only tool in their kit.

...Yet not one of the public school students met state standards in math (a typical question: What is 15% of 60?) The teachers were hired to do a job and they clearly failed. They should be fired.

The number one issue in America today is our borders.
Education needs to revert back to local control, period. The Federal and State departments of Ed should be disbanded. Yeah, that’s gonna happen.

Here's a thought, establish standards that all schools will be held to and tie federal funding to their ability to meet those standards. If you fail to meet those standards, your share of federal funding is reduced. If you meet or exceed the standards, you receive full funding.
This is how the government runs the healthcare system. If it's good enough for the health care system, it's good enough for the education system.

Hillary says she’ll close all below average schools. After 4 years of her reign, we’d only have 6.25% of all schools still open, which would all be populated by only Clinton, Bush, Obama, Congressional, and media grandchildren only.
The rest of us will need to home school and use religious schools.
I’m in.
To: RC one
They sure did and they sure did, with such an easy question.
(10% of 60=6
5%=3
6+3=9
The answer is 9%

You are using eurocentric, masculinist, heteronormative, and racist math, which yields the false conclusion that half of all students and schools will fall below the median. In progressive math, all students and schools will be above average if we give the teachers enough money, and any testing regime that does not ratify this goal is illegitimate.

I say it makers vs takers and the gov’t policies that favor creation of the latter.

Here is a second hint. The issue is not gay marriage, or gun control, or police brutality and or immigration.Stop immigration and most problems go away.

If conservatives had a stronger influence in the nation and via education many of these minority and all kids could be taught the principles of it and the DemonRat party would be sunk low and the RINO’s too.

I’m now against federal dollars going for private schools. I’ve seen too many times non-profit organizations compromise thier values to continue to receive public money.
