eh. it works alright? i guess? could use some work.
i do think it's important that there's some federal oversight of the education system for several reasons. i think the dept. of education's work enforcing laws against discrimination, loveual assault, etc. is important for everyone. i also think it's important that there's a consistent quality of curriculum between states so that the average high school graduate from alabama is ideally just as capable as the average graduate from california, which important to individuals who don't want to be cheated out of a good education because their state sucks, and to employers who want to be sure that people with a high school diploma actually have the qualifications they think they do
and i'm sure there's a lot of inflated stuff about the dept of education that could be pulled back, but i don't think abolishing it or taking its abilities to do those things is ultimately a good decision for anyone. education is probably one of the best economic investments a government can make
