Appalling that these people are ruining the U.S.😮
Ruining it, and forcing working people to pay for ruining it.
Who is “these people”? “Ruining” in what faction?
@@chavonj4680 Are you one of those people who watch a movie and ask everyone questions regarding the movie, during the movie?. Who, what, when, why.....
@@veritygilony1059no he's asking why the low informed Right wing base are so easily manipulated by your puppet masters who constantly lie to trigger its base while transferring blame for a border crisis they caused.
@chavonj4680 these people are the biden administration
Cardina NEVER answers the question he's asked. Impeach him!
I believe all this is show. These public hearings are scheduled. If our politicians wanted the answers to be heard by the public, they'd zip off an email with the questions in advance so there would be no excuses for not having the answer..
None of Biden’s appointed lackeys answer questions
Impeachment would be the only way to rid ourselves of these people because Biden fires no one. Unfortunately, with the Senate controlled by democrats, even just by one, no action will be taken.
The legal term is : Illegal Alien, I used it everyday during my 30 year career.
Criminal alien
We don't need a Federal Department of Education. Every state has their own.
Good luck with that, that’d make education way too variable across the country. You’d have all of Arkansas and Alabama’s illiterates competing against Louisiana and Florida’s unable to do math and all of everyone else’s sex ed lacking causing absolute chaos in the country.
Weasel Cardona is not an educator, never was. He’s a bureaucrat. His interest in education lies solely in how it can be used to advance his career and enrich himself
He is a prime example of a Socialist! Listen to his words and look into The Cloward-Piven Strategy.
So is taxation.
So was Trump and Republicans spending like drunk socialist that quadrupled the national deficit. Funny how quickly the Right forgets.
@@chavonj4680 yes it is because it's also apart of The Cloward-Piven Strategy. Read about it and you will understand what is going on here in America. All of this was the long game.
@@Shei-veisure, we just don’t want to pay for them for people in this country ILLEGALLY, which number in the tens of millions.
@@Shei-vei uh no, what I want is for people to stop calling it socialism as if they don’t support it, for basically the same reasons you mention. If people like it it makes America a good place to live but if they don’t like it it’s “socialism”.
Cardona will never say " ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS " !!!!!
TDS!
There should be an ICE office in every school. It's just a matter of time before the kids demand legal status.
I sub middle school in California where I have quite a few illegals, but mostly kids of illegals. I’d say maybe 20% work hard, and about 70-80% don’t. Most are pretty nice kids, but maybe 15-20% are very disrespectful, and don’t listen or follow instructions. There are also quite a few that have learning and/or behavior disorders.
We force our kids to go to school for 13 years and they come out without being able to live self-sufficiently, yet we are importing workers from other countries who can't read the language they speak but at least know how to work. It's ridiculous.
You’re opposed to cheap labor?
Remind me what is ridiculous about it?
@@chavonj4680 I'm opposed to cheap labor since they are driving down wages for Americans.
@@zytebac if we didnt have cheap labor, youd be paying 20.00 for milk instead of 6.00
@@joesmith-vz1vx That's why we have farm subsidies.
They don’t want that information out there.
No reason any one who cannot prove legal status should be allowed in ANY school.....
Deny children education, doesn’t sound bad at all.
Denying education to children that are not citizens doesn't sound so bad. Their country of origin should be footing the bill.
@@chavonj4680 Correct. Not a citizen, not entitled to the privileges of a citizen.
@@chavonj4680 If you want the rights of a Citizen of the United States, then one basic requirement is TO ACTUALLY BE a Citizen of the United States, isn't it? Of course you wont answer this because that would destroy your argument completely...
@@thegoldmine4111 is k-12 public education a right or a privilege? Would seem you would have to provide it as an entitlement especially if you can have your children taken away if they’re not attending school, right? You can’t make something mandatory that you’re not making accessible.
WOW the mentality of the people. They will help everyone but the American citizens. 🤯
Nothing we can do with the mentally challenged right wing base
Another Mayorcas!!
Amen!!
The problem is the very different languages involved. We are supposed to teach in English, yet we have people from 350 different countries coming in. How do you manage to teach without a common language.
Americans are to learn theirs.
@@kushkingla7385 in America?!? Get off the internet Hillary!
There is no limit to the amount of your money this guy feels entitled to taking and using for whatever he would like to do.
We have citizens in need of basic essentials and this admin and the swamp in DC has allowed this every day since 1/21/2021
We will never forget who did what and who showed no spine for the American citizens they sold out.
These people will not answer the question because that would acknowledge their subservience, and they will not acknowledge that. Apparently, these people don't need to answer to anyone, refuse to admit it, and get away with it. This too will change.
And in our emergency rooms at hospitals. Are always packed now. Who is paying ?
You and me. Not the government. Who gave them the authority to do that? Not you and me.
They are tyrannical with their powers and we need to put it to a stop.
Tyrannical in their powers?? Authority to do what??
This has been going on in California and other border states since the 80s. Other states weren’t affected, so they did nothing to solve the problem. The chickens have come home to roost. I dealt with quite a few of them when I worked in hospitals in the 80s. The were the most demanding, entitled and rude patients I interacted with.
LOOK HOW EMPTY THIS ROOM IS! SHOWS HOW MUCH THEY CARE ABOUT EDUCATION. DUMP THE DEPT OF EDUCATION, LET THE STATES DEAL WITH IT! STOP FEDERAL TAXES FOR A DEPT THAT IS GARBAGE!
Abolish the Dept. Of Education.
It's very troubleing that people that have worked and paid taxes their whole lives have to pay for other country's education food housing clothing and medical all of witch should be off limits to non citizens
Exactly! Maybe we could get Congress to reconsider what type of relationship we have with the yayhoos below us!?!
Why doesn’t any one of these people come prepared with proper information they know they’re going to be asked about?
Not his job to push a Right wing narratives for sound bits for Republicans who have no interest in fixing this problem.
How would they know what facts or figures to have amongst millions unless they’re told the questions ahead of time?
My grandkids loan not relived. A nurse and a sustainability major. But a 40 yr old art student had his loan erased. BS
Very interesting
this guy should be in prison ....
How many cities, like Syracuse, NY, CSD have IMMEDIATE HIRE science teacher openings?
This means kids going to school yesterday, today, tomorrow...NO TEACHER in their room. Remember, kids are not left unsupervised- so they frequently are 'pushed in' to a similar staffed classroom, which overloads and radically degrades that class as well.
Few know SCSD only fills 50-75% of teacher absences with substitutes. About a hundred daily absences means THOUSANDS of Syracuse students have no teacher.
Separate Director-level pay to: Recruitment Retention and Selection, Staff Relations, Employee Services, Effectiveness, Recruitment (not a repeat typo). HUNDREDS of teachers short, what performance metric justifies employment of unproductive directors INSTEAD of teachers?
‘Instead’ of ? Is that hyperbole?
No. I was just notified that I would not be INTERVIEWED, nor considered for any of many positions. I am a physics teacher with green energy and new technology development experience. My undergrad is superior to most teachers, and I was the only physics content in my entire MS Ed cohort - in which at least one Professor proclaimed me the top student.
I've over ten years experience in suburban, rural, and yes, failing urban schools.
I've received complements from students such that I’ll stoically claim my critics fools to specifically question my classroom instruction.
I've won a North American Championship in my sport, coach, a Thespian, and have many other contributions to make in Patent/IP, motivation, entertainment, etc.
It's one or the other. Ask yourself-
Is it more likely an adult professional educator accepts an assignment in Syracuse, unprepared mentally, freaks out, misbehaves, can't handle kids, maltreats them and needs to be fired ‘for performance’, or
is it more likely that DEI hiring policies deemphasize merit, and administrative hires too incompetent to have attendance sheets or room keys (as in my specific case) fire white teachers that witness violence from children taking advantage of chaos and implicit knowledge they won't be disciplined?
Is corruption in schools so profound that administrators, akin to the Catholic Church, retain their unworthy, shuffle their worst around in devotion to social justice equity, unethically firing innocent (but inherently white privileged) teachers that ‘more easily can find work than marginalized people of color’ anyway?...and it only becomes EVIDENT when those deluded ‘justiceX’ policies result in MASSIVE teacher vacancies?
Big district public school employees seek to abolish private, charter, voucher, and parochial schools to mandate all children attend their failing schools…now without teachers.
Is there civil or criminal consequence for those wise Directors paid hundreds of thousands entrusted to get State Standards and failing school improvements enacted, that instead establish profound academic policies mandating our children have no substitutes or science teachers?
Back in the early 90's I had a friend who moved to Houston. He said his high school had one of the highest dropout rates in the nation due entirely to the illegals getting discovered and removed. That was 30 years ago. I can't imagine what it is like now.
lol so you heard about a skewed statistic and you accepted it?
@@chavonj4680 LOL---you have no evidence it's skewed.
@@chavonj4680 The current education system in the United States is a failure...prove me wrong.
@@zytebac by nature of being the highest in the nation It is skewed. I’m using the actual statistics term skew, not whatever you think that word means.
But also, if I’m interpreting your misinterpretation correctly, by nature of it being because of their removal due to citizenship issues and not because of actual educational unattainment then yes the “dropout rate” is skewed by people who were not allowed to enroll not because they flunked out and did not return to school.
@@chavonj4680 I have quite a few of these students in schools where I sub. They are some of the worst students I have, both academically and behaviorally.
As a teacher, I have not seen this in my school, but in my sister-in-laws school, she had an illegal immigrant bring a gun to school. She gets more and more every week. Sec. Miguel Cardona does not care about these kids.
We’ve taken in about 40 in my district in the last couple of months, and that’s on top of ones already here. I’d say about 20% try, the other 70-80% don’t. 20% don’t do a darn thing, except be disrespectful and cause problems.
In The State of Minnesota alone there are more than 47,000 illegal children in public schools . The cost to put one child through public school for one year is $14,000 . You do the math .
So thats why our taxes have doubled. That annoys me.
Define illegal children?
40% of California’s students are illegals or kids of illegals that are, or were English learners. They cost about $25 billion a year.
@@chavonj4680children who’s parents are in the country illegally
@@freezeryder but that’s not the children themselves so who’s would that be illegal children? Are you saying to punish children for the crimes of their parents?
“Working class folks” are paying someone else’s loans. It is an evil transfer of money.
Yes and in CT there are public schools that are now making kindergartners go to school and the first half of every school day is all in Spanish. To force them to learn Spanish. And the faculty doesn't care if the children don't understand.
I know. Im from CT.
Document it.
Babbel , the language learning company has 13 different languages that they offer to learn.. But ENGLISH is NOT one of them.. English speakers are encouraged to learn another, BUT , non english speakers are not
@@lukequigley121in CT they only offer Spanish as a second language and it is required to take the course. When I was in 7 th grade we were allowed to learn French, Italian or Spanish. I chose French. But when I reached my freshman year, I was unable to complete my second language and was forced to take Spanish because they eliminated all other language courses. By the time I graduated it went from that to what it is now. As I stated in my above comment.
@@freedomrings.0007lol “to force them to learn Spanish. And the faculty doesn’t care if the children don’t understand” yea that’s sorta what happens when you’re learning a second language??
@@freedomrings.0007so you checked every school in Connecticut and none of them offer any other language than Spanish? Do you understand it’s more expensive to hire 3 different language teachers than one?
Good job Mr Bean. I hate that these meeting don’t seem to be getting people removed or fix things.
It's all for show.
“Illegal “ shocker
HOW CAN THEY NOT KNOW??
What we DO KNOW is that 13 MILLION AMERICAN KIDS ARE STARVING IN THE USA and these public 'SERVANTS" choose to ignore it.
Do you think that figure doesn’t include immigrant children?
@@chavonj4680 let me guess, you are here illegally!?!
This is how Rome fell.
They never know, they will follow up, etc, etc. What ever we are paying them is a waste of tax payer's money
Those children’s parents are earn a good money and they don’t pay taxes
And they got free of everything.
They export remittances to corrupt 3rd World countries and those countries governments export poor, sick or criminals.
They never want to answer live on tv.....can we get back to you off camera???????????
No sheet!!
There shouldn’t be on illegal in our school system.
They're trained to not answer questions and denied everything
40% of California’s K-12 students are or were English learners and speak a language other than English at home. They cost about $25 billion per year.
……..so how do you propose fixing that?
@@chavonj4680 a wall, end birthright citizenship for illegals, employee verification, no free health insurance, as a starting point
This questioning is so great. It totally exposes how absurd this is. Our tax dollars paying to educate kids in the country illegally.
Remember OctoMom (as in EIGHT) used student loans for in-vitro fertilization to get pregnant with EIGHT babies that she supported through welfare because she could not afford EIGHT babies at once on top of the ones she already had???!!! I wonder if she has paid back her loans???!!!
Secretary full of you know what
It’s amazing how little prepared these people are when they come before congress.
Tens of thousands!!!
This department is absolutely SHAMEFUL!! Congress is equally SHAMEFUL for not protecting American children!!
FJB FJB FJB forever!
Do away with the Department of Education!
It's amazing how many really incompetent politicians that run the show. The vail has been pulled back and us regular Americans are APPALLED!
Such a disappointing this administration doesn’t have anybody that answers the questions. Don’t understand this at all why they come to this committee they never answered the damn simple questions.
It's what they're told to do. It's in the script.
They’re not paragraphs to dig?
Full on proof that they don't give a rats ass about the American people or the children that are suffering under this regime
Change the law
Hey, Congress, Leave Them Kids Alone! stop funding all education and stay out of what goes on in Education. Read and obey the constitution.
"A Bunch" ??? Dept of Education, is NOT in the Constitution?
Pass the senate border bill.
Biden can do it today by EO but won’t, and you know it.
They have to remove the pork first. Border bill should stand alone without the demoncrats pet projects.
I live in Connecticut and I can tell you as an American.We hate this traitor
Get him out. He is such a disappointment!
Miguel looks like a boxer in the 24th round of a match that was only allowed to go 12 rounds
Cardona is a political activist more than an educator. I am really disgusted with the bureaucrats that testify before congress. The favorite answer seems to be "I don't know that number or that amount but I'll have my staff provide you with that later". Why are they in charge if they don't know??Just what do they know?? Why do our kids have to be subjected to their inept management and decisions??
Why is it the "law" that we teach people who are NOT even supposed to be here?
I've watched numerous committees on all topics, as an outsider in the UK, and I'm appalled by the contempt shown by Democrat witnesses by not answering questions or saying they will follow up with answers to questions, but never do. Some Senators or Congressman have been asking, repeatedly, for answers regarding numbers or statistics about a topic for over 1 year without any joy. Just to be told, again, "I don't have those figures here but my office will get them to you soon". It's farcical.
Our kids are ALREADY suffering. Haven’t you seen the massive teacher layoffs all over the country?
But administration is still sitting pretty. We have more admins working in some school districts than school teachers. How does that even make sense?
Elementary teachers have said that they spend 40% of their time dealing with migrant children.
It sounds like he knew all those people were coming! Listen to his words.
What a slimy guy in charge of the education department. He never answers the question, he avoids, and lies.
...and how many of their parents pay taxes to support the school systems? ...and how many are taught that English is our language here?
“English is our language here” no such law or anything stating that.
@@chavonj4680 Constitution is written in English.
@@audreysteinert7597 and??? It’s also translated into any other language you like. There is no obligation to speak English nor in any place is it stated that English is the official language of our country.
@@chavonj4680 So? Do you deny that a common language helps to bind a people together? Helps us to understand each other a bit better? The primary technical language in the world is English; would it not be wise for all of us in this nation to learn that language, in order to better compete on the world stage? There is nothing wrong with wanting a common language, and that language has been and is English, is my point.
@@wmiller1000 “helps to bind a people together” is not the duty of the law. It’s just as much the governments job to facilitate “binding people together” as it is to make sure that families stay together by not granting divorces or by forcing people to live in the same house. You can’t compel speech and free speech also covers the right to speak a language other than English. And statistically speaking it would be better if we spoke Mandarin first, Spanish second, and English as a third language, if you’re talking about binding people together and performing on the world stage. Multiple languages hasn’t hindered the UN from operating. Because they’re technologically advanced enough to have instant translation. If you have a problem with someone speaking another language that’s a you problem.
I did not object to common language, I pointed out that there is no such law or anything stating an official language of the US, let alone one that we are REQUIRED to speak. The US is comprised of SO many demographics that might speak any combination of languages. Your capability to understand what a person is saying can also just be negated cus if they know any language other than English they can just choose not to speak English to you.
Why is it that these people's 'staffs' are the only ones with the "information" ?
We know that at least 30 million "migrants" are here now and still coming... ☹️
just like with Mayorkas i have to ask, where does your allegiance lie? with the interlopers or with the republic? i believe we all know the answer to that question and its offensive that you would choose the illegals over citizens. his bias is showing
I am surprised Mr. Cordona knows nothing!! But wants money. Crazy
Is there anyone in this administration who will just give a straight answer to a question?
No. Every single one dodges questions
It sounded just like DHS!
Lock him up!
So he’s saying working class people do not go to religious universities?!
I love this game now we dont answer questions.
I see nothing, I hear nothing, I say nothing. I collect my check and go home.
Mr. Secretary, "como"?
CARDONA IS MOST IGNORANT
Does this guy EVER give an answer?
Impeach this Know nothing man immediately.
These elected government workers - and non elected workers - on both sides will do nothing?
But HOW are Illegal Immigrants In Our School Systems ???????????????????????????
The same way they're get drivers licenses and welfare. This administration is to blame for it all.
They just enroll. Schools can’t ask legal status. 40% of California’s students are illegals or kids of illegals. They cost the state about $25 billion per year.
Charge him with fraud he has zero Authority to give that money out and make him pay it back with his own money
Yikes
Home school for your child's future and life.
I am all for teaching any student. What I am afraid of is unvaccinated students spreading diseases like measles (53 confirmed cases in Chicago) But now you have children from countries with these diseases (because other countries don’t vaccinate children) mixing in with our children. Many Americans are against vaccines for their children, for whatever reason. Which is fine, but those children are more susceptible to these diseases.
They don't give a rat's behind about the American people
Way too nice
Lol Mr bean is becoming one of my favorite congress reps
Incompetent
1.7 million gotta ways. Many of them are probably showing up in these protests.
And like myorkis, he'll keep his job...smh
What a BS, my coworker house owner w/rental property was qualified to apply, with 100K salary
Board of Education is just another government agency--not an elected organization.
1 is to many
Perceiving they were wise they became fools Romans 1:22
you need a government Id to register for any school. you cant go to dmv and get a government Id if you are illegal. These are all actors in their awful drama.
I like this dude
Cardena is a joke. In charge yet knows nothing!!
