Teachers teach. Governors govern.
The Governor of the Great State of Minnesota, who ran on a platform of education, absolved his Department of Education of any criminality in its lack of oversight of a $250 million fraud scheme.
Rather than saying there will be accountability and expectations in his Dept of Education after an Office of Legislative Auditor report critical of the DoE, he comes up with 'nobody at the DoE has been found to have done anything illegal' and 'we can always do better'.
Lol
I always used to think my Democrat friends were nuts for always wanting more money for education. After all, most people aren’t getting into teaching for the riches and notoriety. As I’ve gotten older and watched a lot of good teachers I know leave education for other pursuits, typically because of politics and bureaucratic nonsense, I’ve thought a time or two that maybe we should pay these people more.
In some ways it’s the same decline that’s hit police forces—keep lowering the entry standards, pay like shit, force them into a never ending cycle of red tape and “Gentle Parenting/Policing” school of thought nonsense, and then everyone wonders why the end product is garbage. About the only people left to do the work are people who can’t do much of anything else in society—the conservative ones choose law enforcement and the liberal ones tend towards education/government.
So given all that, it’s sadly unsurprising that 250 million went missing and they are just passing the buck.
