Critics argue that McMahon lacks\u2064 significant \u200bexperience in education, \u200cnoting her\u2063 brief tenure\u200c on Connecticut&#8217;s State Board of Education \u2062and minimal\u200c practical experience in schools compared to her\u2064 predecessor. The author presents a \u2063controversial perspective, suggesting\u2064 that such limited experience coudl\u200c be beneficial given the poor performance of American educational institutions. The article asserts that the educational system is\u200c failing, citing\u200c research indicating\u200b that \u2064homeschooled children often outperform\u2063 those taught by certified\u2064 teachers.<\/p>\n<p>The piece \u200dcritiques the teaching profession,arguing that many teachers come from the lower third of academic ability\u2063 and fail to meet high \u200dstandards for knowledge.\u200b It \u2063posits that education departments propagate \u2063left-wing ideologies rather than\u2063 effectively preparing\u2064 future educators. \u200cThis alleged ideological bent, combined with the substandard\u2064 quality of education,\u2063 is framed as detrimental to both students and\u2064 teachers.<\/p>\n<p>The author concludes that the current education system is in crisis, positing that it hampers national greatness and self-governance amid declining academic performances over decades. \u2063They advocate \u2064for the\u200b abolition of the department of Education, questioning the suitability of its leaders, \u200dincluding McMahon, to manage \u200ba &#8220;dysfunctional and chronically dangerous&#8221; system.\u2063 The author\u200d calls\u200b for significant \u2064reforms to restore excellence in education.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>President Trump&rsquo;s education secretary nominee Linda McMahon began her confirmation hearings the morning of Feb. 13.

Myriad data indicate the education industry is one of the nation&rsquo;s lowest-performing, and its institutions some of the nation&rsquo;s worst.<\/p>\n<p>Institutions are run by people. The people responsible for the horrific performance of America&rsquo;s education institutions are the least qualified to improve them. This is Management 101. And it is borne out by numerous longstanding data points. Here are just a few.<\/p>\n<h2>Untrained Parents Educate Better than Trained Teachers<\/h2>\n<p>Homeschool parents are better teachers than the average person with a teaching degree. Now, it shouldn&rsquo;t make any sense that people with zero experience or preparation for a field significantly outperform people with experience and preparation. That is not true of just about any endeavor &mdash; except education. <\/p>\n<p>Almost everywhere, homeschool parents need no college or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-irreversible-consequences-of-school-closures\/\" title=\"The Irreversible Consequences of School Closures\">high school degree<\/a>. They need to take no classroom management or even parenting classes. They need to demonstrate no knowledge whatsoever. Despite this, the children educated by homeschool parents <a href=\"https:\/\/nheri.org\/research-facts-on-homeschooling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">constantly outperform<\/a> the children educated by state-certified teachers &mdash; and on just about <em>every <\/em>measure, not just academically.<\/p>\n<p>Homeschool graduates are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardus.ca\/research\/education\/reports\/diverse-outcomes-for-a-diverse-population\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more likely to be<\/a> happily married than are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/survey-home-christian-school-grads-more-likely-to-keep-faith\/\" title=\"Survey: Home, Christian School Grads More Likely To Keep Faith\">public-school graduates<\/a>. They are <a href=\"https:\/\/studyfinds.org\/homeschooled-kids-risky-choices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">less likely<\/a> to binge drink, try illicit drugs, or have premarital sex. They have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/artsci\/psychology\/media\/medlin-socialization-2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more pro-social view<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nheri.org\/research-facts-on-homeschooling\/\">s<\/a>. They <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardus.ca\/research\/education\/reports\/diverse-outcomes-for-a-diverse-population\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">volunteer<\/a> more.<\/p>\n<p>My children attend a Christian classical school. I do believe an excellent teacher is better at teaching than the average parent. My children&rsquo;s teachers are at least as good as I am at teaching my specialties &mdash; writing, speaking, and literature &mdash; and far better than I at teaching disciplines that aren&rsquo;t my specialties, such as math, music, and languages. Plus they spend full workdays on their profession, and most homeschool parents cannot.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is, most teachers are not taught to be excellent, nor are excellent people recruited to teaching. So the average parent is better than the average teacher at teaching simply because the teaching profession is horribly substandard. The success of homeschooling is an indictment of the entire U.S. education system.<\/p>\n<h2>The Teaching Profession Is Horribly Substandard<\/h2>\n<p>One of the dirtiest little secrets of the teaching industry is the low academic expectations of the average teacher and teacher preparation program. Now, let me be clear: I don&rsquo;t think a person&rsquo;s worth is determined by his test scores or IQ. Everyone can contribute to society even if he&rsquo;s not academically inclined. I hate technocrats who act as if IQ bestows the right to rule others. And I&rsquo;m aware that there are exceptions to every group statement, so let&rsquo;s not start the tiresome &ldquo;But I had a brilliant math teacher in sixth grade!&rdquo; as if one counterexample negates a generality.<\/p>\n<p>But &mdash; perhaps with the exception of preschool and kindergarten teachers, who maybe shouldn&rsquo;t exist because children shouldn&rsquo;t be institutionalized that young &mdash; anyone who is going to be a teacher should perform at least academically above average. Most U.S. teachers do not, and this has been true for at least 50 years. This is a major problem because decades of high-quality research <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrrb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/stotsky-talk-2010.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have shown<\/a> that the No. 1 indicator of an effective teacher is subject-matter knowledge. The <a href=\"https:\/\/files.eric.ed.gov\/fulltext\/ED509001.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more<\/a> a teacher knows, the better his students learn. This is why I believe a good teacher is better than an average parent.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of setting high expectations for teacher knowledge, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">states set abysmally low expectations<\/a>. Teachers <a href=\"https:\/\/files.eric.ed.gov\/fulltext\/ED509001.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can pass<\/a> many state licensure tests despite <em>giving a majority of wrong answers<\/em>. Oh, and those tests <a href=\"https:\/\/files.eric.ed.gov\/fulltext\/ED509001.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">typically<\/a> measure middle-school- or even elementary-level competency, meaning teachers who graduated high school don&rsquo;t need to perform even at a 12th-grade academic level (!). The terrible quality of these tests is probably why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aei.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/-from-teacher-education-to-student-progress-teacher-quality-since-nclb_160544924006.pdf?x85095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">numerous studies find<\/a> that unlicensed teachers are no worse than licensed teachers.<\/p>\n<p>American elementary school teachers typically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrrb.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/stotsky-talk-2010.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">come from<\/a> the <em>bottom third<\/em> of academic ability. Competing foreign nations ensure they draw teachers from the top quarter of academic performance. While American teaching students know less than most other college majors, they <a href=\"https:\/\/files.eric.ed.gov\/fulltext\/ED523106.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">receive higher college grades<\/a> than students in every other major.<\/p>\n<p>Since American teaching students don&rsquo;t learn much knowledge that would make them more effective teachers, what are they doing in teaching school? Being indoctrinated with left-wing cant. Funding such anti-intellectual propaganda is the dominant function of not just the U.S. Department of Education but state departments of education and teachers colleges, and it&rsquo;s why they all need to go. They do not serve teachers, children, or the country, but ruin them.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<div lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>In 2023, the Department of Education partnered with &#8220;Welcoming Schools,&#8221; an NGO program that teaches elementary school children that they might be &#8220;pansexual,&#8221; use &#8220;they\/them&#8221; pronouns, and imitate &#8220;non-binary animals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are many ways to be a girl, boy, both, or neither.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LzlwI0B91M\">pic.twitter.com\/LzlwI0B91M<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&mdash; Christopher F.

They are so bad that abolishing them would improve everything immediately, and anyone with a deep resume in this system should be considered with suspicion.<\/p>\n<h2>Long, Long History of Catastrophic Failure<\/h2>\n<p>Look, most American kids attend public schools and have for the last 70 years. This means the public education system owns U.S. academic performance. And that performance has been abysmal for decades. <\/p>\n<p>Federal involvement in education began in the 1950s as part of the Cold War effort to outcompete communist countries, recognizing that U.S. public schools even then were damaging U.S. national security and economic competitiveness.

Schools that educate instead of indoctrinate are essential to a self-governing republic, because a good education teaches a citizen to rise to the level of self-government.<\/p>\n<p>Daycares masquerading as schools are not harmless. They fuel our slow national suicide. America cannot become great again when our schools are mostly run by communists and their intellectually starved stooges. In the 46 years we&rsquo;ve had a U.S. Department of Education, U.S. education has gotten much worse, not better. That&rsquo;s not an accident, it&rsquo;s proof that most of those in leadership positions in such an anti-American system should be viewed with suspicion and deprived of power.<\/p>\n<p>A system this bad is not above being run by a former WWE executive. Just about <em>any <\/em>competent person is too good to run an institution this chronically dangerous and dysfunctional.
