QUICK HIT: Department of ED: Was It Doomed from the Start?

from SmartHERNews · host Jenna Lee

Why did The New York Times question the creation of the Department of Education back in 1979 — the very year it was founded? In this episode of SmartHER News, we take a closer look at the ongoing debate over the future of education in America.  With recent calls to dissolve the Department of Education, we revisit a historic NYT editorial titled “An Illusion of Education Reform” and explore the concerns raised about union power, funding disparities, and federal vs. local leadership. How can we improve education today? Is it time to rethink the system entirely?
