This is a fundamental difference between government and private industry. In private industry you get more money by succeeding, being good at what you do. If you don't you go out of business and some other entity earns the money you would have. In government you get more money by sucking. Government entities aren't allowed to fail to death so they just give the failure more money, because obviously that was the only problem. In order to do so they take money away from those who succeed, obviously they don't need it.

The public schools have been dominated for a hundred years by the “progressive” vision of John Dewey. Dewey began as a follower of Hegel, and never really gave up f the Prussian view of every school as an agent of the national state. The public schools were in the beginning , of course, locally supported, and as subsidiaries of the state, Today, of course administration consumes a large portion of what is spent on the schools,
Yes! Let's replace it with for-profit schools that teach Biblical verses and the Commandments! And ban books of history (about slavery, colonization, etc) bc those events never really happen, and it will only radicalized our kids to hate America 😂🙏
The kids are getting worse in their behavior and the systems are worse. Love the part about education starting at home. The school should not be the parent
@@auspicious1so let’s use you’re ideology for a moment school choice right you do know that the school also have the right to choose in this scenario also you saying that education starts at home try telling that to single who have to work multiple jobs to provide for her family or his family while trying to teach them adequately
One issue I have with Vivik's argument about school costs and lower performing schools costing more is that it does not take into account the fact that public schools have to take in and serve every student while charter and private schools do not. This means that public schools have to serve students that are behavior problems, students that have great learning disabilities and need more small group or one-on-one help, etcetera. It is not an apples to apples comparison.
So true! The average person just doesn’t get this. Carters and private schools don’t accept behavior disorder children, moderate/severe students… and I’m sure they won’t accept ELL students. I think it will segregate students even further. A poor family may have the money to “choose” but they won’t have the resources for transportation.
None of them are talking about that. So many kids will be left behind because the charter schools and private schools can choose who they accept. Even if they have “ lottery”. So It’s not really school choice because there’ll be a limit.
Is it due to the parents who allow their kids to be violent towards teachers or the lack of pay ? How does abolishing the department help with those issues ? It doesn’t.
I'm in board with the dept of education dismantle. I'm currently almost done with a masters Degree in Social Work/far left brainwashing. I just found out they changed the curriculum and future students have the most dumbed down list of course work, no academic papers WTH 🤦🏼♀️

@@aaronpannell6401 Are you making the logical fallacy that it's necessary to produce good results? Or are you looking for evidence that a DOE is not necessary for good results by examining history?
@@RodCornholio I'm asking if there is any correlation between a country not having a DoE and producing good schooling results? I'm not suggesting that a DoE produces good results, I'm just asking for an example of a country that doesn't have one and produces good results.
@@aaronpannell6401 Two or three things are true: A.) people who attended U.S. government schools have been performing worse since the Education Department began and B.) millions were adequately educated prior C.) a significant number of students ( _roughly_ 40%) admitted to Ivy League Schools (e.g. Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth) have been educated via non-government schools. This assumes that one accepts the notion that non-public educational paths are further removed from the Department's influence and "Ivy League" admission standards require, as you say, "good results", academically So, I don't see any evidence that a Department of Education is necessary. Unfortunately, I can't comment on other countries since I am not familiar with each one. However, the evidence suggests that attempting to find correlation or causation ( i.e. government Education Departments -> good results ) is rather moot.
This would solve a lot of problems. It would disrupt the Teacher Union Strangle Hold on the Public Education system, it would facilitate the removal of political indoctrination out of the public school system where they are in lieu of educating our children, instead are creating activists, and as a result would have a rippling compounding positive effect on improving the Education of our school systems...
Unfortunately, not. It depends of the politics of the states. but even in red states there is a great resistance to funding of schools independent of the state agencies.
I work in finance in a red state where we don't have teacher unions. We can non-renew teachers if necessary. The issue with us is that we may not be able to find a replacement 😂 and we're one of the highest paid in our state. Teachers are just burning out at alarming rates these days so they're hard to keep.
The only thing I’m concerned about with bringing education policy back to states is who would be checking states to make sure political or religious indoctrination isn’t happening in state determined school curriculum? Woke indoctrination which is happening from the DOE is bad but also religious indoctrination like teaching creation instead of evolution is bad which I could see a lot of deep red states adopting if given the freedom.
As someone who works as a consultant for state agencies. I would love to hear Vivek’s thoughts on abolishing the CDC. My coworkers are already panicking about the administration change and how it affects funding and spreading “the message”.
Dept. Of Education didn't always exist, it came after I left highschool and I can definitely say it hasn't made it better. It's led to the lowering of standards so schools can meet quotas to get funding.
Dept of Education is truly unnecessary. I like the idea of “task forces to solve problems as they can then move on after achieving success.” Then “success” is defined and is what is work towards. It’s how the commercial world works…you have a goal, objectives, KPIs, etc. as to which your performance is based upon.
@@auntlizard262 no task force, no State block grants, how about the federal government cuts all citizens taxes by 25 percent and then let their local city government raise city taxes to the appropriate level for their city.
Former Charter school teacher here, the numbers aren’t what they seem to be. Always have to look at who’s being enrolled in the school and removed. That simple detail heavily influences the data.
Vivek 🙌🏽 yes, shut down the Department of education, sincerely a former teacher. Also, universities need to be reformed, they’re not preparing teachers but sure are making $$$ from them.
I work in finance/payroll for a school district. The number of teachers that turn in resignations with "I'm persuing a line of work outside of education" within 5 years of graduating is alarming.
The education system is broken! I fall in that category. I was the teacher that worked after hours because I genuinely wanted all kids to learn, that involved countless of hours differentiating and crafting lessons that focused on the crucial skills and making it engaging for students.Plus, misbehavior is intense and many parents are not held accountable. This gentle parenting is out of hand! In my current district, they hired teachers from Asia, and they are struggling with students because of their behavior. I quit my job and currently pursing entrepreneurial. I realized money does talk, I hope one day to fund and help reform the education in my community.
Yet they are creating a bureaucracy with this NEW department. Why not make it a Task Force like he said DOE should have been. I'm all for reducing bureaucracy but creating another one. Make this a task force and get it done! Oh because they want tax dollars indefinitely. The word play is ridiculous. Make it a Task Force, how are we funding DOGE?
@@aaronpannell6401 ah, the old "correlation causation" fallacy. Read "For a New Liberty" by Rothbard. The book is free online and even available in audiobook. Reading it will either convert you to Libertarianism or make your arguments against it stronger. Either way you win!
@FreeTimeMastermind I don't think this is the correlation/causation fallacy. There must at least be a correlation to recognize the causation. Every causation has to have a correlation, but not every correlation was caused by one of the correlating phenomena. Meaning, if there isn't one country that has successful school outcomes and doesn't have some kind of DoE, what are you basing the result on?

@@jaredstepp7921 would you like a cut in your Federal taxes of 25 percent and abolish the federal department of education and let the local city government handle their own school financing from its citizens, that is the way to go, give me my money back, I don't have kids in school.
Education is a product, therefore we are due a receipt, year over a year, with the amount spent per student and the outcome of that year spending. This needs to be given to every parent without request, and every student upon request.
The outcomes would be how successful student go on to be afterwards which is a longterm investment. It's not like we see the benefits of school right after graduation.
100% agreed for many reasons not the least of which is its unconstitutional and every single metric is worse since it was established. Simple decision.
I absolutely agree on the civics test for natural-born citizens. But also make it optional. If you opt out you forfeit your citizenship and become a "natural born resident", a category that does not currently exist. Should you wish to get citizenship it would be the same process as any other legal permanent resident.
Sounds nice, but I worry this creates an incentive to block people from taking the test if they wanted to. It would have to have no fees associated with it, it would have to be administered in accessible locations, it should be able to be taken pretty much any time or at least far enough in advance of an election the prospective citizen would want to participate in to be fully processed. Otherwise you have the chance of it being weaponized like "literacy tests" in the Jim Crow era.
Yep, income tax is only around a century old in the USA if I remember right. I bet that would surprise most people, since the government has convinced them that it is necessary for them to hand over their money.
yes, give the funds to Parents who will choose the best thing for their children. They are not going to choose a school that will cause their children to fail in higher education. Read two book by John Gatto: Dumbing Us Down, and the Underground History of American Education
If you just give the money to parents, I am sad to say that some will use the money to purchase drugs and alcohol. I guess this will help the economy (since the value of the dollar is based on spending) but it will not help some children. Maybe this is not what you meant?
@@user-sm4mq9nt6t The money would need to be annexed to the kid, in some special account that only allows education expenses, not just given to the parents. imho. I know it does introduce some bureaucracy into the process, but I think it would be a good tradeoff in comparison to the current state.
JTG was required reading when I started homeschooling two decades ago. Every person I knew flipped out claiming I was “hurting” my child somehow. Now here we are and mine is the most well-adjusted while all of her peers are mindless, woke drone. Now suddenly no one has anything to say…
Where in our Constitution is education mentioned? If it's not specifically enumerated as a federal responsibility/authority it is returned/incumbent to state(s) control/monitor/responsibility. Our education system ranks 19th in the world! No child left behind? All our children have been left behind based on imperial date.
I mostly agree with him, but school choice can be misused when for-profit K-12 schools resemble for-profit colleges by providing substandard education while enriching a select few.
"bad schools" that are described in this interview are a product of poverty not teachers that work in them. Defunding these schools is not a solution. Charter schools/school vouchers is the bs the conservatives dream of.
What's wild is these men don't know why it should be shut down. How our country survived more without it than with it. We need men who get educated on all aspects 9f our history.
The first two minutes are so very important. Here's where I'm coming from as a Canadian. During Trudeau's term housing prices have doubled while wages haven't went up by even 50%. We're letting in over a million newcomers a year while approving less than 200 000 new builds during the same time period. He's actually working towards curbing our rights to speak out and is on record saying we can't protest with the aim of trying to change policy. His WuFlu policies saw the greatest upwards funneling of wealth in our history. He's said blue collar workers are a danger to our rural communities. He's stopped the growth of our energy sector while buying O&G from foreign entities that are our ideological enemies. His environmental minister said the federal government will no longer build new roads. His wealth has grown exponentially while the middle class has been systematically eliminated. None of these policies or ideas or realities help the average Canadian citizens and the actions and statements can't be interpreted as being helpful no matter how charitable your take. So who are these Young Global Leaders working for? Keep in mind Vivek sued the the WEF to have them remove his name from the list of YGLs after their refusal to do so despite his repeated requests. So yeah. Politicians are elected to do a job. And it doesn't matter if incompetence or malicious behavior has them failing to perform to minimum standards. If you're not fit for purpose you must be fired. It really is as simple as that.
Its alarming to me that there seems to be a global initiative to consolidate wealth and power in the government, eliminate the middle class, and make it next to impossible to own property.
The gentleman who is speaking at around 40 seconds is absolutely correct that sometimes an intelligent person might be a bit socially awkward in regards to his ability to sympathize with people's perspectives who are not as informed or maybe just disinterested in the subject. The quickest way to get your message across and to make positive impacts is to sympathize and have compassion with people's circumstances that make it possible for them to become interested in a topic and feel properly represented. It can be seen as arrogant or even condescending when you speak about a topic intelligently and factually without building up to your point with a peaceful conversation.

Its a great idea. Send the money per student to each state and each state decides how its schools are run. And parents choose where their kids should go or if theh choose homeschool they should receive that money for their kids education.
The problem is that the mindset in school administration is pretty much the same at every level down to the local school. Just look at the huge sums spent on sports, It is not accident that the highest paid OFFICIAL in most states is a coach. District officials benefit personally from the unwritten rule that their salaries must be higher than head coaches,
I like Vivek better than Trump. I was going to vote for him in the primary but he dropped out before my state's primary. I hope he sticks around for the future. He's a young Ron Paul and Thomas Jefferson. 🔥✊
Teachers should be paid based on how well they do. Also need to get rid of tenure. I think some really good teachers should be paid better. Some teachers should get paid less because they are simply awful. It should be treated like a respectable job because it is. :) Hopefully when the states are in control and there’s more local management, our voices can be heard and differences can be made.
Assuming that a student costs 40k a year, its an absolutely reasonable policy to just give that money directly to the student instead of it being lost in manager salaries and bureaucracy costs. You should probably setup some individual account for students so the money (that in this case I assume is taxpayer money) is not diverted by less scrupulous parents or even by the idiocy of the kid. This would also solve the case of the kids from a rough background. Having 20k a year to spend in any education you want goes a long way for someone that has nothing. I think there is still a need for some semblance of a Dep of Education, like Shultz said to keep some test standardization, maybe watch out for schools that are being setup as scams, and to collect overall statistics to inform further policies. But this work should be able to be done by like 10 people or something. More like an Office of Education, rather that a whole department.
All 4 of my daughters are homeschooling because of our public education school!! Our tax money pays for the public education system and it should be a healthy well established place that our children can learn and grown into American citizens that will be able to cultivate a great American Society one day.
I agree. My child is way behind. No schools here will help her. Since day 1 every teacher in every school told me the same thing, "we spend the required amount of time woth her and she isnt improving". They told me she needed slecial ed and then I found out all they were doing was butting her in a classroom with 5th graders to do extra worksheets with no assistance. She was a 1st grader at the time and got constantly harrassed by those fifth graders. I put her in a provate school but it has since closed. She is now home schooled but Im a single dad working full time and using the little time I have in the afternoon to do school is brutal. That tax money Im throwing away to a system that failed us needs to go straight to go in my pocket so I can fund whats best for our situation.
I graduated from a Catholic, all-boys high school staffed by Franciscans , OFM Conv, in 1958 . The curricula consisted of nothing but academics. If you failed 2 subjects 2 times in a row you were out, There were approx 600+ boys, not one fight . When I went to college I was often asked what private school I attended? The school was often the top trophy winner in basketball, football, etc. Folks it is not difficult if you keep to a plan with no deviations.
So, what is accountability going to look like from the State, the parents, the schools,and the child. What are the curriculums... generalized, student directed, or a combination? How will my tax dollars for their education be accounted for if the failure rate us high? Will there be state accreditation testing of each student certifying a standard of excellence, proficiency, or failure?
As long as the minimal funding and IDEA accountability at the federal level stays intact. The states need a check of some kind that they’re following disability law. Special needs child here. If there’s another way to do it that doesn’t create a 5-10 year wave of rebuilding that accountability at the state level I’d love to hear it.
Get rid of the DOE and mandate that any government funds earmarked for education follow the student so that a free market competition can help address the abysmal education system that is currently in place.
The DOE’s Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services provides support for disabled adults via vocational rehabilitation grants to states These grants match the funds of state vocational rehabilitation agencies that help people with disabilities find jobs. Typically, these grants total around $4 billion a year.
revamp public high school to be more like community college / Vo-Tech training. or let them join the military for a 2 yr training course in order to graduate. They're not teaching anything good anyway
Schultz: I trust you to... for me. libertarians: I don't trust you! Get the f*ck out of my way! I know whats best for me and if I'm wrong, It'll be ME that suffers.
If American students were anywhere near the top 10 in the world one might able to say that the Dept of Education was doing it’s job. Sadly they are no where near that at 22 or 36 depending on subject.
Here’s the thing though. When you were that age, sitting in class you’re not the same person you are now. Most kids wouldn’t care, or understand, or find relevancy in it.
I wouldn't say abolish it. More like regulate it, and overhaul it significantly. Here in America, we need to be teaching free, critical, logical thinking that is steeped and rooted in reason. We are not doing this today; we propagandize, politicize, lie, gaslight and intentionally hold back these skills in order to create a compliant society. And that education begins in elementary. I cannot tell you how wrong it is to develop an education system where only one form of answer is correct. Now, you can criticize and scrutinize the process they used all you want, and in all honesty, you should. After all, these processes being scrutinized are how we understand the mindset of those that are not we ourselves, and it can lead to easier or more revolutionized thinking. Just imagine if Einstein was not scrutinized in his research and findings. Imagine if, when he came up with something that was new, or went against the 'norm', the entire system just went "Nope, you failed. I don't want to hear it. Meet me this Saturday for a make-up test too recover this grade." And grades are given an F or 0 just because the process was incorrect, or it was an "unacceptable process", even if the answer itself is incorrect! Like, seriously. In addition, we need to get these blatant falsehoods out of subjects, one that are predominately found in our History books. Holy... Christ... When i graduated, and this started years after actually, i started using google to find reputable sources and fact checking things i learned in school, it simply baffled me just how much actual recorded history says otherwise. We teach an almost zero nuanced history that is told from a prejudiced viewpoint that it's no wonder racism and bigotry are so prevalent. In fact, Rosa Parks and MLK are about the only nuanced and highly detailed, perfectly recollected and categorized detailing of events that i can recall that we were educated on in our history books (probably because the backlash otherwise would be immense). But when it comes to things like: Why did Japan attack Pearl Harbor? Well, it was because we forced their hand through heavy, broad sanctions. In our history books, these sanctions and the months leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the Japanese's pleading to the USA to stop them, ARE NONEXISTENT in order to paint America as a victim of unadulturated, unwarranted japanese hatred at the time, or in a bid for japanese conquest. Take your pick. Korean War entry and motivations, this was told wrongly. The Cuban Missile Crisis, this entire affair almost was told wrongly. The list goes on and on. Our history lessons are freaking abysmal. And don't even get me started on Clark. The system, that being education, can do good things. It just needs to be regulated, strenuously, and it needs to be de-politicized. We need an education system that is going to actually treat young adults like young adults, teach them correct, unbiased information, math and skills like accounting and stocks need to be MANDATORY, literature secondary to the above, and we need to first and foremost give them the brightest most enlightening education that we can without patronizing them or indoctrinating them, and give our future citizens the ability to think, reason, and deduce situations, not just problems. These are our, yours, theirs kids. These kids, teens and young adults or newly of age adults are the future of America. Stop leaving them with an education that sets them up for failure. The common curriculum taught in 98% of public schooling needs to be radically improved. Currently, it's trash. Walk down the street, find ten people and ask them if they even know what the Cuban Missile Crisis even is, and how that pissing contest almost saw America destroyed. I bet you nobody would be able to tell you they know it, or if they do, they'll say it was Cuba with the missiles (which goes to tell you everything.) Regardless, i digress. That's my thoughts. But abolishing it entirely? I don't think so.
The worst case scenario/trafe-off arguments are always so frustrating. Yes, some people will fall through the cracks when you change a system or program, just like they already do under to current circumstances. We'll never have a perfect society, all we can do is try to make decisions that are generally beneficial for the maximum amount of people
the scary part is it almost doesnt even matter how good an idea is. people need to believe in that idea and participate for it to work. And people simply wont do that.
Dept. Of education should have been shut down in the 70's. As a parent, that is when I noticed the change. My daughter was passed with an 80 in math....with NO math teacher all year. No book reports. I fought the school system to have her repeat that grade. They watched movies and did hair and nails while in 3 out of 4 classes. She used to come home and tell me these things. When I questioned the school, the teacher and principal barred me out of the school. They told me next year the kids would have a teacher. I fought the system to get her enrolled in a different school....they were using the 1960 bussing laws. I finally brought her home and home schooled her. She was signed to the "free school lunch" program because I would not sign the papers. She took lunch from home. I packed her lunch daily, but the school was counting numbers. I did not approve of what they were feeding the children in school. I worked in the medical field and did not need nor want any government aid at all. That is how I was raised. We were not allowed to get on welfare....we learned to plant seeds, save money, make our own lunch, cook our own food and remain independent from outside sources. My father had alot of pride. That turned out to be for our advantage. We did fine, thrived and ate healthier until they started poisoning our food in the grocery store and in the fields. We learned about food belts across the U.S.
I was kind of against this one until hearing him explain things. I always liked how clearly this guy breaks everything down without the deameaning tone of most politicians.
The best way to get rid of student loan debt is to not take out loans and pay off what you owe. Take some responsibility for your actions. I owed $119,000 and have paid it down to $8,000.
Highest performing schools spend less per student because they tend to have families that are wealthier and have fewer health or developmental needs to be addressed by the school
I agree 100 percent on the concept. What would happen to Pell grants? I’m in community college and rely on it to go to school. Too expensive without it.
DOE more interested in ideology than in any equitable distribution of funds. Remember the famous flap over bathroom at the schools? When Biden came in, almost immediately my local school district received “guidance” from DOE attached to funding. Virtually the whole department was against the Trump appointed officials. especially the Secretary.

One issue I have with Vivik's argument about school costs and lower performing schools costing more is that it does not take into account the fact that public schools have to take in and serve every student while charter and private schools do not. This means that public schools have to serve students that are behavior problems, students that have great learning disabilities and need more small group or one-on-one help, etcetera. It is not an apples to apples comparison.
So true! The average person just doesn’t get this. Carters and private schools don’t accept behavior disorder children, moderate/severe students… and I’m sure they won’t accept ELL students. I think it will segregate students even further. A poor family may have the money to “choose” but they won’t have the resources for transportation.
Great point he not talking about that. There’s levels to this that people are not thinking about.
Exactly!!!
None of them are talking about that. So many kids will be left behind because the charter schools and private schools can choose who they accept. Even if they have “ lottery”. So It’s not really school choice because there’ll be a limit.
Every student should have to take and pass a financial literacy class and test. Credit card and banks will fight this requirement.
Also some needs to take a economic and civics class and I’m talking about some adults
As a former teacher, who knows many people who are still teaching, change NEEDS to happen.
Is it due to the parents who allow their kids to be violent towards teachers or the lack of pay ? How does abolishing the department help with those issues ? It doesn’t.
Vivek is the man!
He’s not
I'm in board with the dept of education dismantle. I'm currently almost done with a masters Degree in Social Work/far left brainwashing. I just found out they changed the curriculum and future students have the most dumbed down list of course work, no academic papers WTH 🤦🏼♀️
FACTS
A Master degree in Far Left Brainwashing? You cannot make this shit up.
Can you name a country that doesn't have a department of education and is producing good results?
Yes! Let's replace it with for-profit schools that teach Biblical verses and the Commandments! And ban books of history (about slavery, colonization, etc) bc those events never really happen, and it will only radicalized our kids to hate America 😂🙏

Finally, Vivek says what I've been promoting for decades.
Can you name a country that doesn't have a department of education and is producing good results?
@@aaronpannell6401 Are you making the logical fallacy that it's necessary to produce good results? Or are you looking for evidence that a DOE is not necessary for good results by examining history?
@@RodCornholio I'm asking if there is any correlation between a country not having a DoE and producing good schooling results? I'm not suggesting that a DoE produces good results, I'm just asking for an example of a country that doesn't have one and produces good results.
@@aaronpannell6401 Two or three things are true:
A.) people who attended U.S. government schools have been performing worse since the Education Department began and
B.) millions were adequately educated prior
C.) a significant number of students ( _roughly_ 40%) admitted to Ivy League Schools (e.g. Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth) have been educated via non-government schools. This assumes that one accepts the notion that non-public educational paths are further removed from the Department's influence and "Ivy League" admission standards require, as you say, "good results", academically
So, I don't see any evidence that a Department of Education is necessary. Unfortunately, I can't comment on other countries since I am not familiar with each one. However, the evidence suggests that attempting to find correlation or causation ( i.e. government Education Departments -> good results ) is rather moot.
This would solve a lot of problems. It would disrupt the Teacher Union Strangle Hold on the Public Education system, it would facilitate the removal of political indoctrination out of the public school system where they are in lieu of educating our children, instead are creating activists, and as a result would have a rippling compounding positive effect on improving the Education of our school systems...
Unfortunately, not. It depends of the politics of the states. but even in red states there is a great resistance to funding of schools independent of the state agencies.
I work in finance in a red state where we don't have teacher unions. We can non-renew teachers if necessary. The issue with us is that we may not be able to find a replacement 😂 and we're one of the highest paid in our state. Teachers are just burning out at alarming rates these days so they're hard to keep.
The only thing I’m concerned about with bringing education policy back to states is who would be checking states to make sure political or religious indoctrination isn’t happening in state determined school curriculum? Woke indoctrination which is happening from the DOE is bad but also religious indoctrination like teaching creation instead of evolution is bad which I could see a lot of deep red states adopting if given the freedom.
As someone who works as a consultant for state agencies. I would love to hear Vivek’s thoughts on abolishing the CDC. My coworkers are already panicking about the administration change and how it affects funding and spreading “the message”.
Dept. Of Education didn't always exist, it came after I left highschool and I can definitely say it hasn't made it better. It's led to the lowering of standards so schools can meet quotas to get funding.
Dept of Education is truly unnecessary. I like the idea of “task forces to solve problems as they can then move on after achieving success.” Then “success” is defined and is what is work towards. It’s how the commercial world works…you have a goal, objectives, KPIs, etc. as to which your performance is based upon.
The question is who defines the goals.

Former Charter school teacher here, the numbers aren’t what they seem to be. Always have to look at who’s being enrolled in the school and removed. That simple detail heavily influences the data.
Vivek 🙌🏽 yes, shut down the Department of education, sincerely a former teacher.
Also, universities need to be reformed, they’re not preparing teachers but sure are making $$$ from them.
I work in finance/payroll for a school district. The number of teachers that turn in resignations with "I'm persuing a line of work outside of education" within 5 years of graduating is alarming.
The education system is broken! I fall in that category. I was the teacher that worked after hours because I genuinely wanted all kids to learn, that involved countless of hours differentiating and crafting lessons that focused on the crucial skills and making it engaging for students.Plus, misbehavior is intense and many parents are not held accountable. This gentle parenting is out of hand! In my current district, they hired teachers from Asia, and they are struggling with students because of their behavior. I quit my job and currently pursing entrepreneurial. I realized money does talk, I hope one day to fund and help reform the education in my community.
Bureaucracies are self sustaining "Make Work" entities that don't exist in private corporations.
you'd be surprised. It's called empire building.
Yet they are creating a bureaucracy with this NEW department. Why not make it a Task Force like he said DOE should have been. I'm all for reducing bureaucracy but creating another one. Make this a task force and get it done! Oh because they want tax dollars indefinitely. The word play is ridiculous. Make it a Task Force, how are we funding DOGE?

@FreeTimeMastermind I don't think this is the correlation/causation fallacy.
There must at least be a correlation to recognize the causation. Every causation has to have a correlation, but not every correlation was caused by one of the correlating phenomena.
Meaning, if there isn't one country that has successful school outcomes and doesn't have some kind of DoE, what are you basing the result on?

@@colberthunter12Do you think 25% of taxes goes to the DoE?
@aaronpannell6401 we would need that much back to pay for the schools be because of the high inflation.
Education is a product, therefore we are due a receipt, year over a year, with the amount spent per student and the outcome of that year spending.
This needs to be given to every parent without request, and every student upon request.
The outcomes would be how successful student go on to be afterwards which is a longterm investment. It's not like we see the benefits of school right after graduation.
100% agreed for many reasons not the least of which is its unconstitutional and every single metric is worse since it was established. Simple decision.
I absolutely agree on the civics test for natural-born citizens. But also make it optional. If you opt out you forfeit your citizenship and become a "natural born resident", a category that does not currently exist. Should you wish to get citizenship it would be the same process as any other legal permanent resident.
Sounds nice, but I worry this creates an incentive to block people from taking the test if they wanted to. It would have to have no fees associated with it, it would have to be administered in accessible locations, it should be able to be taken pretty much any time or at least far enough in advance of an election the prospective citizen would want to participate in to be fully processed. Otherwise you have the chance of it being weaponized like "literacy tests" in the Jim Crow era.

Thank god for sending us Vivek in at a time like this. Really excited to see what he will accomplish in his future
I mostly agree with him, but school choice can be misused when for-profit K-12 schools resemble for-profit colleges by providing substandard education while enriching a select few.
Totally 💯 agree 👍
Excellent points of view 🇺🇸 📖 🇺🇸
The worst part about Vivek is he just talks over people if they speak for more than 3 seconds
He also is talking so fast I am having a hard time understanding.
Absolutely. I've been an advocate of doing that for years.
Delete those three letter agencies! Yes! And many more of them!
Thanks for the soft ball questions. The nation wide teacher shortage, It's about to get worse
"bad schools" that are described in this interview are a product of poverty not teachers that work in them. Defunding these schools is not a solution. Charter schools/school vouchers is the bs the conservatives dream of.
I look forward to voting Vivek for President
What's wild is these men don't know why it should be shut down. How our country survived more without it than with it. We need men who get educated on all aspects 9f our history.
The first two minutes are so very important. Here's where I'm coming from as a Canadian.
During Trudeau's term housing prices have doubled while wages haven't went up by even 50%. We're letting in over a million newcomers a year while approving less than 200 000 new builds during the same time period. He's actually working towards curbing our rights to speak out and is on record saying we can't protest with the aim of trying to change policy. His WuFlu policies saw the greatest upwards funneling of wealth in our history. He's said blue collar workers are a danger to our rural communities. He's stopped the growth of our energy sector while buying O&G from foreign entities that are our ideological enemies. His environmental minister said the federal government will no longer build new roads. His wealth has grown exponentially while the middle class has been systematically eliminated.
None of these policies or ideas or realities help the average Canadian citizens and the actions and statements can't be interpreted as being helpful no matter how charitable your take. So who are these Young Global Leaders working for? Keep in mind Vivek sued the the WEF to have them remove his name from the list of YGLs after their refusal to do so despite his repeated requests.
So yeah. Politicians are elected to do a job. And it doesn't matter if incompetence or malicious behavior has them failing to perform to minimum standards. If you're not fit for purpose you must be fired. It really is as simple as that.
Its alarming to me that there seems to be a global initiative to consolidate wealth and power in the government, eliminate the middle class, and make it next to impossible to own property.
The gentleman who is speaking at around 40 seconds is absolutely correct that sometimes an intelligent person might be a bit socially awkward in regards to his ability to sympathize with people's perspectives who are not as informed or maybe just disinterested in the subject.
The quickest way to get your message across and to make positive impacts is to sympathize and have compassion with people's circumstances that make it possible for them to become interested in a topic and feel properly represented.
It can be seen as arrogant or even condescending when you speak about a topic intelligently and factually without building up to your point with a peaceful conversation.
Its a great idea. Send the money per student to each state and each state decides how its schools are run. And parents choose where their kids should go or if theh choose homeschool they should receive that money for their kids education.
As a retired teacher, he is absolutely correct. The waste of time and resources caused by this bloated agency is incredible.
Could not agree with you more. Inefficient, ineffective waist of tax payer dollars. No accountability.
Huge waste of taxpayer funds.
The problem is that the mindset in school administration is pretty much the same at every level down to the local school. Just look at the huge sums spent on sports, It is not accident that the highest paid OFFICIAL in most states is a coach. District officials benefit personally from the unwritten rule that their salaries must be higher than head coaches,
I like Vivek better than Trump. I was going to vote for him in the primary but he dropped out before my state's primary. I hope he sticks around for the future. He's a young Ron Paul and Thomas Jefferson. 🔥✊
vivek is so god damned smart.
Teachers should be paid based on how well they do. Also need to get rid of tenure. I think some really good teachers should be paid better. Some teachers should get paid less because they are simply awful. It should be treated like a respectable job because it is. :)
Hopefully when the states are in control and there’s more local management, our voices can be heard and differences can be made.

Look what they did to Jaime Escalante for daring to inspire and challenge children to learn. Stand and Deliver vs race to the bottom.

Assuming that a student costs 40k a year, its an absolutely reasonable policy to just give that money directly to the student instead of it being lost in manager salaries and bureaucracy costs. You should probably setup some individual account for students so the money (that in this case I assume is taxpayer money) is not diverted by less scrupulous parents or even by the idiocy of the kid. This would also solve the case of the kids from a rough background. Having 20k a year to spend in any education you want goes a long way for someone that has nothing.
I think there is still a need for some semblance of a Dep of Education, like Shultz said to keep some test standardization, maybe watch out for schools that are being setup as scams, and to collect overall statistics to inform further policies. But this work should be able to be done by like 10 people or something. More like an Office of Education, rather that a whole department.
Get schools off tax money. I shouldn't have to pay for others education

All 4 of my daughters are homeschooling because of our public education school!! Our tax money pays for the public education system and it should be a healthy well established place that our children can learn and grown into American citizens that will be able to cultivate a great American Society one day.
I agree. My child is way behind. No schools here will help her. Since day 1 every teacher in every school told me the same thing, "we spend the required amount of time woth her and she isnt improving". They told me she needed slecial ed and then I found out all they were doing was butting her in a classroom with 5th graders to do extra worksheets with no assistance. She was a 1st grader at the time and got constantly harrassed by those fifth graders.
I put her in a provate school but it has since closed. She is now home schooled but Im a single dad working full time and using the little time I have in the afternoon to do school is brutal.
That tax money Im throwing away to a system that failed us needs to go straight to go in my pocket so I can fund whats best for our situation.
I graduated from a Catholic, all-boys high school staffed by Franciscans , OFM Conv, in 1958 . The curricula consisted of nothing but academics. If you failed 2 subjects 2 times in a row you were out, There were approx 600+ boys, not one fight . When I went to college I was often asked what private school I attended? The school was often the top trophy winner in basketball, football, etc. Folks it is not difficult if you keep to a plan with no deviations.
Vivek didn’t really answer the question about how do we ensure a necessary base curriculum for all American schools?
So, what is accountability going to look like from the State, the parents, the schools,and the child.
What are the curriculums... generalized, student directed, or a combination? How will my tax dollars for their education be accounted for if the failure rate us high? Will there be state accreditation testing of each student certifying a standard of excellence, proficiency, or failure?
As long as the minimal funding and IDEA accountability at the federal level stays intact. The states need a check of some kind that they’re following disability law. Special needs child here. If there’s another way to do it that doesn’t create a 5-10 year wave of rebuilding that accountability at the state level I’d love to hear it.
Get rid of the DOE and mandate that any government funds earmarked for education follow the student so that a free market competition can help address the abysmal education system that is currently in place.
The DOE’s Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services provides support for disabled adults via vocational rehabilitation grants to states These grants match the funds of state vocational rehabilitation agencies that help people with disabilities find jobs. Typically, these grants total around $4 billion a year.
That's crazy, a billionaire with all the money that hates unions.... Hmm....
No, no, let’s keep the education department because they are doing such a great job.
Let's gooooo vivek is the man
revamp public high school to be more like community college / Vo-Tech training. or let them join the military for a 2 yr training course in order to graduate. They're not teaching anything good anyway
Schultz: I trust you to... for me.
libertarians: I don't trust you! Get the f*ck out of my way! I know whats best for me and if I'm wrong, It'll be ME that suffers.
If American students were anywhere near the top 10 in the world one might able to say that the Dept of Education was doing it’s job. Sadly they are no where near that at 22 or 36 depending on subject.
We've got an 11yo Deaf daughter who really depends on the DOE... Please don't break it completely???
Vivek for education minister ❤
I wish we had these discussions in the classroom
Here’s the thing though. When you were that age, sitting in class you’re not the same person you are now. Most kids wouldn’t care, or understand, or find relevancy in it.
I wouldn't say abolish it. More like regulate it, and overhaul it significantly. Here in America, we need to be teaching free, critical, logical thinking that is steeped and rooted in reason. We are not doing this today; we propagandize, politicize, lie, gaslight and intentionally hold back these skills in order to create a compliant society. And that education begins in elementary.
I cannot tell you how wrong it is to develop an education system where only one form of answer is correct. Now, you can criticize and scrutinize the process they used all you want, and in all honesty, you should. After all, these processes being scrutinized are how we understand the mindset of those that are not we ourselves, and it can lead to easier or more revolutionized thinking.
Just imagine if Einstein was not scrutinized in his research and findings. Imagine if, when he came up with something that was new, or went against the 'norm', the entire system just went "Nope, you failed. I don't want to hear it. Meet me this Saturday for a make-up test too recover this grade." And grades are given an F or 0 just because the process was incorrect, or it was an "unacceptable process", even if the answer itself is incorrect! Like, seriously.
In addition, we need to get these blatant falsehoods out of subjects, one that are predominately found in our History books. Holy... Christ... When i graduated, and this started years after actually, i started using google to find reputable sources and fact checking things i learned in school, it simply baffled me just how much actual recorded history says otherwise. We teach an almost zero nuanced history that is told from a prejudiced viewpoint that it's no wonder racism and bigotry are so prevalent. In fact, Rosa Parks and MLK are about the only nuanced and highly detailed, perfectly recollected and categorized detailing of events that i can recall that we were educated on in our history books (probably because the backlash otherwise would be immense).
But when it comes to things like: Why did Japan attack Pearl Harbor? Well, it was because we forced their hand through heavy, broad sanctions. In our history books, these sanctions and the months leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the Japanese's pleading to the USA to stop them, ARE NONEXISTENT in order to paint America as a victim of unadulturated, unwarranted japanese hatred at the time, or in a bid for japanese conquest. Take your pick.
Korean War entry and motivations, this was told wrongly. The Cuban Missile Crisis, this entire affair almost was told wrongly. The list goes on and on. Our history lessons are freaking abysmal. And don't even get me started on Clark.
The system, that being education, can do good things. It just needs to be regulated, strenuously, and it needs to be de-politicized. We need an education system that is going to actually treat young adults like young adults, teach them correct, unbiased information, math and skills like accounting and stocks need to be MANDATORY, literature secondary to the above, and we need to first and foremost give them the brightest most enlightening education that we can without patronizing them or indoctrinating them, and give our future citizens the ability to think, reason, and deduce situations, not just problems.
These are our, yours, theirs kids. These kids, teens and young adults or newly of age adults are the future of America. Stop leaving them with an education that sets them up for failure. The common curriculum taught in 98% of public schooling needs to be radically improved. Currently, it's trash. Walk down the street, find ten people and ask them if they even know what the Cuban Missile Crisis even is, and how that pissing contest almost saw America destroyed. I bet you nobody would be able to tell you they know it, or if they do, they'll say it was Cuba with the missiles (which goes to tell you everything.) Regardless, i digress.
That's my thoughts. But abolishing it entirely? I don't think so.
The worst case scenario/trafe-off arguments are always so frustrating. Yes, some people will fall through the cracks when you change a system or program, just like they already do under to current circumstances. We'll never have a perfect society, all we can do is try to make decisions that are generally beneficial for the maximum amount of people
Agree & good video
the scary part is it almost doesnt even matter how good an idea is. people need to believe in that idea and participate for it to work. And people simply wont do that.
2:25 is still happening by funding schools through local property tax. Schools in government subsidized neighborhoods are inherently underfunded.
Dept. Of education should have been shut down in the 70's. As a parent, that is when I noticed the change. My daughter was passed with an 80 in math....with NO math teacher all year. No book reports. I fought the school system to have her repeat that grade. They watched movies and did hair and nails while in 3 out of 4 classes. She used to come home and tell me these things. When I questioned the school, the teacher and principal barred me out of the school. They told me next year the kids would have a teacher. I fought the system to get her enrolled in a different school....they were using the 1960 bussing laws. I finally brought her home and home schooled her. She was signed to the "free school lunch" program because I would not sign the papers. She took lunch from home. I packed her lunch daily, but the school was counting numbers. I did not approve of what they were feeding the children in school.
I worked in the medical field and did not need nor want any government aid at all. That is how I was raised. We were not allowed to get on welfare....we learned to plant seeds, save money, make our own lunch, cook our own food and remain independent from outside sources. My father had alot of pride. That turned out to be for our advantage. We did fine, thrived and ate healthier until they started poisoning our food in the grocery store and in the fields. We learned about food belts across the U.S.
I was kind of against this one until hearing him explain things. I always liked how clearly this guy breaks everything down without the deameaning tone of most politicians.

They would “give the money back” and then tax it. It also assumes that the parents are responsible enough to actually spend the money on their kids.
Nice interview!

Highest performing schools spend less per student because they tend to have families that are wealthier and have fewer health or developmental needs to be addressed by the school
Sounds too good to be true
A "task force" to fight discrimination? What?
Yep they took me out of wood shop and put me in a bad kids class. Completely ruined any hope I had for the school system.
I agree 100 percent on the concept. What would happen to Pell grants? I’m in community college and rely on it to go to school. Too expensive without it.
DOE more interested in ideology than in any equitable distribution of funds. Remember the famous flap over bathroom at the schools? When Biden came in, almost immediately my local school district received “guidance” from DOE attached to funding. Virtually the whole department was against the Trump appointed officials. especially the Secretary.
Abolish DOE, ATF, IRS, HUD, reduce powers of EPA, stop welfare and food stamp fraud…there’s a long list of bureaucracy that needs to go.
