Curriculum and teacher choice are administered at the state and local level. Dept of Education doesn't do what many people assume. Also, Carter didn't actually create it, he elevated it from a bureau in various agencies to cabinet level.
"Unlike the systems of many other countries, education in the United States is organized at a subnational level by each of the fifty states. Under the 10th Amendment, the federal government and Department of Education are not involved in determining curricula or educational standards or establishing schools or colleges." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Education -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of ch...@go-mtc.com Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2024 12:00 PM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] daylight saving time Since the DOE was created by by Carter in 1979, all the kids have been much smarter as a result, right....
