What is President Trump's criticism of the Department of Education?

President Trump criticizes the Department of Education as a "big con job" due to the stark disparity between spending and results. He points out that while the United States ranks number one in cost per pupil globally, spending more than any other country on education, it ranks only 40th among the top countries in actual educational performance. This significant gap between high investment and poor outcomes forms the basis of Trump's criticism, suggesting fundamental inefficiencies and accountability issues within the educational system. His characterization highlights his broader concerns about fiscal responsibility and the need for better results from government spending in education.
