Education, or lack of it, is a hot topic nowadays. Some folks think that the Department of Education isn't pulling its weight. They believe that the federal division hasn't been effective for a long time.

Some people think that it really doesn't matter when schools are only places to socialize. Some people wonder what else could we be doing with all that money.  They believe that the Department of Education can't do what it's supposed to, so maybe the money could be better spent than on the federal department.  They think the money could be better used by staying local, by supporting states and communities. They wonder why they can't take care of things on their own, and if that doesn't make sense, maybe things aren't right in the first place. Some believe that the people who are the educational hawkish are not thinking things through, they believe this is about emotions.

These kinds of thoughts are likely from a place where people might be emotional. The citizens might think that the amount of money being spent is wasted on issues that have nothing to do with the content of the education. The citizens might feel that the money is being wasted since the effectiveness of their educational programs are not being maximized.

other department, program are complaining about the money for education. It is important to note that for the educational program to be maximized, more money is not always the answer.

This begs the question: why not focus on making sure public schools are giving the students what they need? After all, money is no guarantee of success. Some people even believe that taking away the Department of Education wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for the kids.

The thoughts are actually mysterious. If people don't believe in what they are doing there's an issue somewhere.  That brings up a bigger question. Are laws or rules the same as the actual execution of those rules?

It's been said there's a lot of waste, a lot of things that don't actually need to be going. Everyone could just be making too much noise. Maybe they should think about what the actual problem is or what the real issue might be?
