DOGE's death blow to education studies.
Researchers say students and schools will suffer without vital data
researchers described the canceled projects at the department’s Institute of Education Sciences as rigorous evaluations of how the federal government spends education dollars, efforts to improve the reading and math skills of U.S. students and guides for teachers on evidence-based methods of instruction. Many of the projects were near completion and had mostly been paid out, which means that the implied savings are likely much less than $881 million touted by DOGE.
In case someone in your life still needs more evidence that they're full of shit
Annual cost of K12 from federal state and local is $17,700 per student currently. From pure cost perspective, America does not need public schools, just send kids to Mexico or even China cost much less, and business will get more obedient labor with better math.
Let's see, who is leading this charge that we are spending too much money.
"Trump said the U.S. is "last in education out of 40 states" and "No. 1 in cost per pupil."
Both claims are wrong. The U.S. does not lead any international rankings for education, but it is not at the bottom of the list, either. Cost per pupil is higher than most developed countries, but not the highest."
And why is the US cost higher but not as high as Norway, for example.
"The U.S. has long provided more services to students — such as meals, transportation, extracurriculars such as sports, and special education — than do other countries,"
And what happens when we spend more money?
"Although there are some exceptions, high-income school districts tend to spend more money on education per pupil and have better outcomes, while low-income districts tend to spend less and have worse outcomes."
Kind of paints a different picture than the one you are attempting.
Thanks to musk and vp Trump, the masses cant read this.
That hat needs to be a different size or something
