Blog: Week of 4/28/17

This week I came across an article that explains the thoughts of pulling federal regulations out of the K-12 education. In the article “Trump to pull feds out of K-12 education” by S.A. Miller, explains how Trump feels that we should leave all of the education rules to each individual state. When he states “My administration has been working to reverse this federal power grab and give power back to families, cities [and] states — give power back to localities”(Miller 1). As he says it himself he’s trying to allows the families of the local communities to be in charge of what they think their education system needs. This is important I think because it is true, the families of the students understand what the environment needs, in ordered to gain a better education. Trump basically is saying “The time has come to empower teachers and parents to make the decisions that help their students achieve success”(Miller 1). Why is it that the government is in control of what happens with the younger generations education. Considering they are belittling the  teachers that have gone through the proper training to educate their students. The government is make all of these standardizes regulations that do not work, because not everyone is on the same page.The teachers are the ones that know what is best for each and every student. So why allow one person in a chair to make these regulations. It should be each individual states, that way they can make regulations based specifically off the issues at hand. Allowing the federal government to be in charge is also wasting money, because “The result has been education that spends more and achieves far, far, far less”(Miller 1). This economy is all about budgeting. With the government in control they don’t know the finical state of every separate local community. So they are spending all this money, but no results because not everyone can use the resource they are providing. I think Trump and DeVos have a good idea with getting the federal government out of the education system and the end results will be much better.
