In an effort to help the government save money, what agency should be abolished first? My vote is for the Department of Education. Since 1979, the ED has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on education resulting in the following: Since 1970, per pupil spending has risen from about $3,000 to almost $5,600, adjusted for inflation. SAT scores have dropped from a total average of 937 in 1972 to 902 in 1994. 30% of college freshmen must take remedial education classes. 17-year olds scored 11 points worse in science than in 1970. 66 percent of 17-year olds do not read at a proficient level and reading scores have fallen since 1992. U.S. Students scored worse in math than all other large countries except Spain. There has been no significant improvement in scores since 1973.
