I first posted this back in October when talk of the dissolving of the Dept of Education was just starting. Now that Trump has almost done just that I thought I’d repost. So many of my students receive federal funding through the D of E. Hell, I did as a high school and college student. The services I received would not have been there if it weren’t for that funding. For those who will come at me saying that the funding will be handled by a different department or they’re returning control to the states: 1. The departments that have been floated as taking over parts of the Dept of Ed just had more jobs cut from them so please tell me how they are going to take over. 2. I’m lucky that I grew up in and work in a state that doesn’t heavily rely on federal funding.
