Absolutely

I mean, duh

Thanks

That’s a big one

Foreign policy…

Wild times

I assume it’ll be contested

Yeah, I agree. Just trying to explore all viewpoints because I truly don’t get how people think defunding the DoE will fix things. The system has clear issues, but breaking it up and making it more expensive doesn’t seem like the answer either.

I assumed. That’s just the argument I always hear. If the IRS gets gutted it seems like the revenue wouldn’t be there to fund them anyway.

Could school vouchers and tax credits work?

So increase DoE funding and decouple schools from property tax funding?

Whats interesting about Canada is that they have largely decentralized education with success. I wasn’t aware of that until recently.

Basically all I’ve seen from this administration is what they’re against (healthcare, education, diversity, environment/climate, science, equity, inclusion, regulations, etc.), but like, are they for anything besides the antithesis of those?

That’s mostly how it is now, no?

This is in Canada?

Good points. Thanks.

So would that look like pulling all say from the states and putting all funding, policy, etc. at the federal level?

It does seem that way with the tax credit and school choice push. Is the DoE the answer or could it be handled better at the state or regional level?

Agreed on both. How would funding work then? Should it be handled at the state level, by U.S. regions like New England or the Mid-Atlantic, or should it stay at the federal level?

I wasn’t previously aware, but apparently, Canada leaves it up to their provinces to decide. Interesting that they perform so well when their system sounds similar to what those pushing for state control in the U.S. want.
