- Congress is holding a hearing on the state of American education as former President Donald Trump pushes to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. The move could significantly impact school funding, particularly in low-income areas that rely on federal dollars for programs like Title I and special education. NYC Schools Chancellor Melissa Avilés-Ramos warns that New York City could lose $2 billion if the department is abolished, while educators across the country question how federal funds would be distributed. FOX 5’s Michelle Ross breaks down what’s at stake for students nationwide.

Shut it down! Students are graduated and can’t read, write or do basic arithmetic!
Like you ? 😂😂😂
@@haroldkadach6940 The fact you don't know the difference between federal and state responsibilities regarding education shows your state failed you.
boomers ruined the world, harold
Thats Right right as the taxpayer halfway across the United States I’m tired of paying for stupid states to do stupid things with money
The stupid stages are all red states. Lowest in everything, those ppl can barely read.
Now all of your money will be going to the oligarchies.
Stupid things in the red states done by your MAGA brainless reps. You right don't send Blue state tax dollars to Red states when the next extreme weather event hits unless they make changes to their building codes.
@@dawg40fnand still you don't pay taxes on your welfare
Shelly is a Russian bot
No big deal. Look at the low scores and lack of education these kids get these days. There is NO way any amount of money goes for effective schooling for our children.
So how is cutting and gutting everything that keeps our country afloat a good decision? If the children have "low scores" and "lack of education" please tell the public how removing a staggering $2B help those institutions? Co-president Rump is all about "DESTROY, DESTROY, DESTROY!" without proposing ANYTHING in replacement that would marginally improve the situation. Absolute clown-fest.
It's another democrat swamp where money goes to disappear.
You would rather have everyone dumbed down to MAGA level so they can cry like you people do. You people are to weak to stand up for yourselves.
I mean come on, Math is Racist, The dictionary keeps changing definitions and adding words at a whim. It is way more important if the child knows that Science is not real and now we can have infinite amount of genders than having a GE
Congratulations parents, you get your kids back to teach on your own!
Schools are so much better when the federal government stays out of it.
@@elisahaynes462 Not at all.
Any proof?
2 Billion? What do the state and local taxes pay for?
greasing Schumer's pockets
Illegal aliens
Illegal immigrants to live in hotels, handouts to political allies, investigating and suing Trump, and new green electric buses to replace perfectly fine buses and funding nonstop propaganda
Education : Give it back to the states.
Absolutely!
2 billion dollars and 90% of graduates can't read. Cut the money off!!!!!!
Good! The teacher's union has ruined our schools.
Because they make mega bucks.
Good ... the department of education is the absolute worst
How?
@@soufwesthoustontx they run like a business. They shouldn’t be they should be solely focus on education and preparedness for students
@@soufwesthoustontxthe more money they get, the worse the results
@@holiday-mm1xs That response shows you don't know what the DOE actually does. State laws are there to provide an education for students and "prepare" them for completing the education system and entering adulthood.
@@4309chris Results regarding what specifically?
Why is NYC school getting that much?????
Ong
Seriously
To pay for fee of DEI children from illegal immigrant childs who were supposed to be US citizen, but not more,From our hard earned American taxpayer's money..our money not that dems money
NYC is one of the lowest testing schools. The feds sends money to boosts these schools in hopes of making them better. blame busches no child left behind
Biggest school district in the country
Maybe the students will learn to read instead of sexual positions
Not likely
State residences pay school taxes. They are paying. They should run their schools. Not federal government.
Maybe if that $2billion was actually spent on giving our children a top tier high quality education and feeding them at school and giving them a safe environment to learn in then maybe we the people would care about you losing your funding.
Or…maybe not
Your comment is based on nothing more than the Manure MAGA pumped into your head. Nothing intelligent in what you said.
That state is a mess. Let the state government take care of their their own mess.
And when the red states need help you always get it from the blue states that pay more taxes than you so maybe you should get back an equal percentage of what you send in and then cry for more help.
@@cyclewisconsin105yet none of the red states are receiving $2B in education funding.
@@cyclewisconsin105Shelly is a Russian bot who supports oligarchs
When they mentioned what the federal DOE does they left out one thing. They also blackmail the states by withholding funds if they do not go along with federal policies.
So true. If you don't teach what we want...bye bye money.
I have been hoping for this for years and years. I went through public school when states were in charge of their own schools.
If nyc students learn nothing, nothing changed
The data shows: Just 33.6% of New York City public school students from kindergarten through 10th grade scored “proficient” on reading assessments this winter, up slightly from 32.5% in winter 2022.
Wow!! That’s a really sad statistic.
Damn
They may lose 2 billion in funds. But increase the educational system back to 92% that it was before the installation of the board of education. It was down to 32% 3 years ago.
If that money has not given students the top test scores in the USA- they don't need a dime more!
Clean up our education system it’s so corrupt
The money would be divested back to state governments, he's said this repeatedly. Dishonest headline. He just doesn't want all the power to be at the federal level. Isn't it more democratic and fair if its split among 50 state governments instead of top down dictation from the federal government???
reps want smaller government. dems are power hungry and want bigger goverment so they cant control everything
Every locality should finance their own public education. If they need donations for poor areas, go out and get them. Don't steal money from people in other districts.
Money does not make good education to children .
Apparently educator's better get on board with educating.
Especially regarding the use of apostrophes...
Apparently parents better get on board with parenting! Problem starts with them not giving a crap and then defending their children when they do anything wrong at school!
Don't blame the educators for your lack of investment in learning. Stupid is hard to correct when you don't even try to learn. Let me guess you get your information from social media.
@cyclewisconsin105 Stupid is indeed hard to correct but we are working hard for better outcomes beginning with Harris and her ilk. Comment on "Social media" often?
It’s a money pit
Obviously, throwing money at the problem does not make the children smarter
So either cut the money or abolish it
Most of our kids leave school with a 5th grade reading school at best! Something is broken in the dept of education and we need to start over from scrap. Perhaps if they focus more on education and less on LGBTQ and other political nonsense our kids could actually focus on learning. Our kids cant tell you what year the declaration of Independence was signed but can tell you all about their teachers private life. Its insane!
2 Billion to run schools? What are those schools made out of? gold?
Nothing could be better for the state of education of our youth as that of the U.S. Department of Education being expunged. A major step in the right direction.
Well,they certainly haven't used the money they have been getting for 15 years or more on the students,half can't read,so where exactly has the money been going,they didn't use on your legal childs education.
Bullshit propaganda! think of all the money going to the states without the multiple admin costs ! Give the money to the children ! Dismantle the teacher's unions and tenure for horrible instructors
Paying for the education of undocumented students takes a huge amount.
I question if we would even notice a difference in test scores or literacy rates.
it would take a few years to see it effects unless the teachers go out of their way to change things.
They’re playing on their cell phones all day instead of studying…
Pretty sure that most of these students don't even know the basic math.
Yeah public schools
Parents need to send their kids to private or catholic schools…school choice!
Where was that money going to? Their schools are crap
The faculty comes before the students. The only reason they are upset about this is because if people had a choice, the public schools would have to start doing their job or lose all students to schools that are performing well.
greasing palms and paying for consoltants
Doesn't need Congressional approval to abolish it, just defund it and fire all the employees.
GOOD. Abolish the DOE!
They also lose money for each illegal that leaves . . .
It means each state will have to manage their own DOE. Sounds like NY will have to figure it out.
Unfortunately New York can't figure anything including math
That's New Yorks problem
What's that mean for local taxes
He’ll get it through.🎉 fed out of education
We need real teachers that actually do their job not just collect a check
My grade school education beginning 1956 in a very rural 1700 person community, prepared me to graduate with highest honors in engineering, psychology with math minor, and at the 96th percentile nationally with a graduate degree in business- And I graduated 27th among 312 graduating high school students - I wasn't top of my class. But I got a hell of an education. Go back to teaching like we did in the '50s and '60s in grade school and high school. Except eliminate the idiot jock meanderthal gym teachers that injured permanently a lot of students in gym classes. A stupid neck rolling activity gave me two dislocated vertebrae at the age of 15 and I've had excruciating pain in that now for more than 60 years and will likely need a cervical fusion next year.
That’s what they voted for
Back to Mexico 🇲🇽beating 🇺🇸in math Olympics 😂
That’s good decision. We back to great country
“They don’t set curriculum” Did they magically forget about the damage Common Core did on the school system?
Boo hoo hoo😢
Maybe if they teach students how to read and write, they can get their money back.
Tell that to your state leaders since they are in charge of the curriculum.
The education department needs to be abolished
NYC is rich! Just stop grifting taxpayers!
States send money to the US Dept. of Education that uses it to fund their Dept. and then sends the money back to the states, but also shares some funds from weathlier states with states that have less money, a sort of Robin Hood process, take from the rich and give to the poor...or at least that was the thought, but it's not the reality. The US Dept of Ed is duplicated in states with their own state Dept of Ed, so there is a redundancy. By closing down the US Dept. of Ed. it will save the taxpayers the cost of running that US dept. And states will be able to keep their own school funds to establish how to use them best in their states. IT's called 'States Rights'. In the US founding which continues today, different states were often formed with unique qualities, so if parents don't care for the way one state handles its business, laws, schools, they can consider moving to a state where it's handled more to their liking.
This info should have been included in this news report.
Get rid of Department of education give the money that’s saved out to the schools and teachers hire the best and if they don’t cut it do better get new 1s
NYC has some of the worst comprehension scores in the country. No thanks, I don't want my federal tax dollars going to that education money pit.
You can tell with the voters. They don’t understand anything too complicated.
Let parents decide to enroll children in Charter Schools.
I doubt the schools ever saw a dime of this , it wound up in some one's pocket
Public schools are the biggest scam running. They get ~20k per pupil per year on average, twice the national average for private school tuition for a year. And we all know they provide a much lower quality of schooling for all that money. The government should just give that 20k directly to parents and let them choose which school their child goes to.
It goes to hiring staff like aides and a bunch of special ed specialists.
most of it goes to construction and studies like crt
The ones getting the most Fed money had the most uneducated students. Teachers unions became woke and saturated dei garbage and get paid to do it.
NY spends 91% MORE money per student than anywhere else in the nation. I think the loss of 2B is called: good economics.
most of the money goes to red tape
Next is to cut the funding to MTA, that money has been abused for decades and now shady Hochul with her congestion pricing racket.
How are New Yorks schools performing?
get rid of it this a state issue
States are already responsible for student education.
@@soufwesthoustontx Okay then why do we need a Dept of Education?
@@freespeechenjoyer The DOE has federal laws to protect students from the possible disadvantages they may face due to physical disability, special education, gender, race etc. They are the ones who enforce protections for students when students get assaulted, or are refused education due to SPED, or denied education due to barriers that may keep a student from attending a school. For example if a school doesn't have a wheelchair accessible restroom etc.
@@soufwesthoustontx Federal law can be enforced without the DoED. As it was before 1980 when it was created.
@freespeechenjoyer States comply with federal laws because there is a federal agency. If you want to make a federal complaint or claim it is not done through the state. States process STATE claims. When you get rid of the federal agency there is no federal accountability.
My county charges school taxes on my property taxes.. why fed money . another big ripoff...
People were far better educated before the department of education was created in 1979
Teachers shouldn't be pushing any off their own politics in the classroom.
Wow than kids will not be treated as special for just going to school.
No more color therapy!!! I’m feeling red today. Or I’m feeling blue today. Make teachers teach and kids focused on learning. Not the emo stuff that gets everyone riled up!
Shut down the department of education.
Federal Taxes among citizens should be split up between Democrats n Republicans. Then each group can spend their taxes on how they want 😂
Nope, Democrats had their chance
SIMPLE
GIVE EDUCATION BACK TO THE STATE
FEDERAL MONEY WILL BE GIVEN TO THE STATE FOR EDUCATION.
STOP THE DAM GASLIGHTING HERE
I'm beginning to think Americans could be living a Dubai lifestyle if it weren't for the squandered and wasted money in this country.
Doesn’t set curriculum, yet if you don’t cooperate with their suggested teachings and policies, they withhold funding. All aren’t there federal standardized tests that all kids have to take each semester and funding is allocated for higher test scores? That’s why they keep teaching to the test to ensure the kids score higher so they get more funds.
2 billion? Why does any major city need federal education money in the first place? Class is b.s. anyway. Just hire testing centers to run these kids thru standardized tests. That way the smart kids finish twelfth grade by age 13. School was torture for me. School caters to the dummies. Orientation? No thank you. Hw? No thank you. I already understand these ideas. Give me the test and f off!
Adams better hold off on trying to waste another 1.1 billion on those illegal immigrants. 🤡
Considering the amount of money funneled into the public education system, we should be graduating the cream of the crop.
But the quality of students that come out of the schools, is so poor, it's a horrible return on taxpayers investment.
If the department of education had been a money management firm, they would have been fired decades ago.
To go from the position of being a nation with enviable education, to one where students cannot read at grade level or do simple math is indefensible.
Good....where does all the money go? Not to our schools. The kids are graduating unable to read and write. I graduated in 1973 and most of our schools were great. We did not have billions of dollars but our teachers taught us fundamentals that dont need billions of dollars to teach. You need a good teacher, common sense, books and a chalkboard.
We ain’t smart bro we suffer from mental health issues and school shooters. We need to fund student and building there mental health first then worry about education
NYC students could barely read or do simple math because teachers are more worried about gender spectrums. I say cut it and put those $2 billion to better use.
So if they abolished it… then what will the children be doing then ?
good that's an insane amount of federal money
Remind me again what Columbia and Cornell's endowments are?
Thoss 2b will no longer be mosused. NY schools sucks
The kids don’t benefit from that money anyways!
Release Trumps high school and college transcripts!
Don’t lie. The money goes directly to the state and no longer has to be funneled through the Dept of Education.
Guess who are just mad because they can’t siphon money to their pockets anymore? All the one’s complaining
The state is not going to get any money
@@bethanywashington1243 agreed I think… I haven’t heard President promise that the money will then go directly to the states. I’ve only heard about dismantling the DOE - if anyone knows where I can look up a clip of where he’s addressed where the funding will go I’m all ears (and yes, I realize the funding for the agency itself, and the administrative costs would be saved, as part of the government efficiency-my question is specifically about the funds that were given not the agency costs itself or the administration of it.
Vulnerable populations....tired of this phrase. We are dumb as floating poop these days.
Fund the CRT? No, thank
DOE is a money pit.
4th graders can’t read at their reading level! If u can’t do it right, get rid of it. Find a better alternative
Awesome!!
Good!
Notice it says schools not students!
TR👑MP
Why is doe giving $ or needing $ for homeless kids???? That should be given to dept of mental hygiene that takes care of the homeless problem.
school? really? it is a cesspool with a golden tag!
Bye, it has been a complete failure!
Bye bye public schools, this is just sad like there is a reason we went to federal in the 50s cuz the states couldn't do it properly!
bussing 1970 ahol
Then perhaps the answer to education does NOT lie with the government in the first place. Government effs everything up, mainly because it Is never held ACCOUNTABLE! GOD FORBID TEACHERS ACTUALLY TEACH SOMETHING USEFUL!
It's time for Jasmine Crockett to be in the White House!!!!! Love her!!
Teach kids to love the USA
Before I got hurt and applied for disabilty. I've been paying more than my fair share in taxes. when ever I work in another state. NY Conn. I pay douple taxes even though My daugther graduated from high school over 18 years ago.
I would love to see this happen. I had no problem paying school taxes when my child was in school. That was almost 20 years ago the. they douple dip on me.😮
