In recent years, the United States has experienced a decline in education, a trend that contradicts the incline of advancements seen in other countries around the world. This decline presents substantial threats to the future of the United States that affect academic performance along with economic growth and social structure. This book examines the various and intricate reasons behind this trend of rapid decline while providing knowledge for educators (teachers and administrators), policymakers, and other stakeholder groups committed to improving the American education system and explaining the impact of the Department of Education and why it is no longer needed in its current state.
