So weird how countries that wildly outperform us continue with the “failed experiment” of highly centralized control of education, directing funding, regulation, & curriculum & assessment through national ministries.
The official order is here. Read it all and compare it to the draft!

This is who was fired from the union workforce at the Department of Education yesterday. Every single number is a person who served the nation and whose life was wrongly disrupted. That's the first tragedy, but it's clearly not the only one.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

Core ED functions include: processing 17+ million FAFSAs, providing 6.4 million students with Pell Grants, disbursing 6.4 million student loans, and managing loan repayments for 43 million borrowers. None of this happens magically, without people.
I started writing this when we expected an exec order last week, but cutting half its staff will make it hard if not impossible for ED to fulfil its core functions.
Functions that most voters, including Republicans, say they favor.

Incredibly disappointed w the defunding of so much critical education research, well said @nicolemmcneil.bsky.social
Helping teachers learn what works in the classroom − and what doesn’t − will get a lot harder without the Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences
The nonpartisan arm of the Education Department supports research and shares data on student progress. It identifies what works and what doesn’t.
