Schools aren’t failing across the board, but we do face challenges, and those challenges vary widely by location. The DOE isn’t perfect, but I worry that without it, we'd see even bigger disparities between well-funded and underfunded schools. Parental involvement plays a huge role, but so does having the right resources in the first place.
At our school admin denies pretty much every request to hold kids back. It does not matter. Even parent requests are denied because “research does not show that retention does any good” according to our admin. Just keep
pushing them along…
Over various threads on this topic, several posters have seemed to think that the Department of Education at the federal level is a relatively new thing. This is false. While DOE came into being in 1980, that was simply a reorganization, moving it out from under the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. There has been an Office of Education, under some name or another. at the federal level since 1867. To have no federal coordination would be somewhat uncharted territory.
I wonder who would administer student loans, whether states would receive any federal funds for education (and who would administer those), whether there would be any federal oversight or whether states would be free to decide for themselves what constitutes discrimination, adequate education, etc. Do Title I, Title IX, and ask the others go away? If not, who enforces them?
I foresee chaos.

I am seeing so many different things. I'm seeing where some things will be moved to DHS, and USDA. But that was in Bill 188 2023-2024. The current one is not informative at all.
