(cont'd from this post)
Our former Secretary of Education has seen the NAEP reports on how well our children are learning in school in recent years, and she is alarmed. Reading and math skills are declining.
"Declines in student performance date back about a decade," exacerbated by Covid measures.
Since 1979 when the U.S. Dept. of Education was created, hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent but students are less proficient (image). They're spending $80 billion per year and achieving no improvement. That's not a worthy return on investment.
Her advice: shut it down.
