Low Literacy Levels Among U.S. Adults Could Be Costing The Economy $2.2 Trillion A Year

They want the states to pay for it, not the federal government. That's not hamstringing public education. Even with the dissolution of the Department of Education, the federal government is still providing money to public schools - it's just under a different department now.

US DOE doesn't provide much money to US public education; that's up to the states. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_school_funding_in_the_United_States

"State and local role in education funding​

[edit]
"According to the US Department of Education, the Federal Government contributes about 8% to funding US public schools. To fund the remaining balance per student in the public education System, state and local governments are mandated to allocate money towards education. The state allocates a percentage of its revenue, from sales and income tax, to use towards education. The funds that are set aside for education are determined by the State constitutions, Propositions, and the incoming Government officials. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, States provide structure, equality, fiscal accountability, stability and support to the public education systems per state. Each state varies the level of support that the schools receive with the implementation of legislation.

"The Local government allocates education funding from the revenue generated by property tax and other fundraising efforts."

That's because you think money is the solution.

Money is useful - you can buy expertise, curriculum, books, AV. Josie seems to be saying that the needs of most of her students are dire, their home issues are overwhelming. & if that interferes with their school attendance, they can't access the staff/teachers/assistance they need to improve their academic performance to the average range.

It's the main predictor and what you're citing is the low poverty rate due to Biden's child tax credits expiring as NO Republican voted to extend them.

Yeah, the math doesn't really work out on that.

 

[L88]

It's true that there are multiple causes for poor educational outcome. Childhood poverty is just ONE of those but accounts for 90% of the reason. If only the GOP cared about post-natal children.

You're heading out some serious political bull shit.
How is the Democrat controlled school dist doing in Chicago? St Louis? Detroit?

This is not a political issue. It's a cultural issue. It needs a social engineering change pushed as hard as LGBQT or 2nd Amendment.
