The DOE is a gift that Jimmy Carter gave to the teachers unions in 1979. That's it, since it's been open education spending has more than tripled but test scores remain flat. The only thing that has significantly improved is HS graduation. But that's overrated because so many HS students aren't proficient at math/Science/reading on a 12th grade level.
You got principles bragging "90% of our 12 graders graduate on time"
But then you look and see only 20 percent of them can read at a 12th grade level
It's what you get when the education system is heavily under female control.....
Everything from the teaching methods, behavior and students produced has taken a hit
