great, jesus coming to a science classroom near you. Somehow I don’t think a model that enables states like Alabama to embrace their backwards views on education is a good thing, but hey America voted this in so this is what we get. Idiocracy at warp speed.
What was the ranking before the department existed?
Education in the United States can’t really be tallied with national averages. There are absolutely terrible districts that get awful results no matter how much money you throw at them, like Washington DC. Highest per pupil funding, lowest test scores.
Then there are districts in Utah that have excellent test scores with one fifth of the funding that DC gets
So what’s the alternative? Like before we the bulldoze the house do we have another?
Well before the Dept of Education was established the US ranked near the top in the world for education. After it was reestablished in 1979 as a cabinet level position student scores on achievement tests dropped sharply after rising for 50 years.
