Well we're tired of supporting this bloated, archaic beauracracy that doesn't produce results, is nothing but government daycare. And yes, teachers are overpaid.
Exactly how much are you paying?

Or the parents could have a lot more say so in their childrens curriculum. Getting rid of the costly, bloated, ineffective Dept of Education would help.

The size of the booty is irrelevant.

Unless we are talking about female backsides.

The Original Poster is fit and ready for the year 1750. But no internet, so no way to spread this opinion. All his life, he's been benefiting from the products of education, but is fully prepared to bite the hand that feeds him. I call this post trash-ready and a weak attempt at becoming a troll.

And leave education in the hands of the states? No thanks. We`ve seen textbooks in Texas that claim that slavery was a side issue in the Civil War and we`ve seen other states that have tried to kick Evolution out of their schools. We have enough idiots in this country as it is.

Over 99% of the public currently believes consent can be given by sliding out of a birthing canal.

And that is heavily due to public education.

The Satan w/dinosaur underlings is just as logical as that one.

Let the market sort it out and keep your gun in your holster, as always.

Educational "institutions" have turned into indoctrination farms. K-12 all the way up through advanced degree programs in higher ed. There used to be a fair amount of propaganda in education, but now the propaganda is in overdrive.
