"How can you have such an uninformed take?" Personal attacks are against HN guidelines. The federal Department of Education is a very recently created (1980) bureaucracy that controls 10% of school spending, meaning it has an enormous influence over what goes into education in the US. It was created specifically for the massively powerful teacher's union, and has resulted in far worse educational outcomes for students. Student's come last in public schools now.
