I'm such a nerd! I just wrote a new article on Wiki describing the smallest stellar-mass black hole discovered. Not the longest article out there but I'm proud of it :)



Sorta surprised the article hadn't been created before.

Spending Does Not Equal Success

Ending the Department of Education



First thing is first, if we ended the DoEdu it would not destroy education. The department was founded in 1979, 202 years after the nation was founded and we did great during those years.



It is simply a bloated bureaucracy that we don’t need and no longer can afford.



In 2011 the DofEdu’s budget was $71 billion plus an additional $23 billion from the “Stimulus” bill.



In 1961 the nation spent $2,808 per student (2009 dollars), today we spend over $10,000. You would think test scores would be greatly improved.



In 1971 we spent $4,552/student, the SAT reading score was 530 for 1972. Today, it’s 497.



In 1972 the SAT math score was 509, today it is only 514.



Basically our education system has stagnated, if not gotten worse, and yet we spend more than twice what we did in the 70s.



More money is not the answer.
