No, the judge didn't actually block anything. They made a ruling that Trump's lackeys might not follow. When the lackeys ignore it, and the judge steps up, that's when they'll actually have blocked it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Glad it was blocked, a shame it was also facing cuts. Good teachers are becoming rarer and rarer, hardly anyone seems to care for children to learn. No respect for good teachers or good curriculum. Teachers are still underpaid, under appreciated, and under equipped. Parents and politicians increasely dont want effective educators, they want cheap babysitters, how better would our society be if people were taught effectively.
Imo there are plenty of good teachers but, a lot of times, public schools don't want good teachers, they want good test results.
Good teachers get weeded out. It drains the life out of you, seeing kids hurt and knowing how they need helped and what they are being set up for but you are not equipped to help them and advice falls on deaf ears, uncaring administration or parents. I see lots of people training to become and alot of new educators, but as you said the powers that be, care about test results and image not staff or child well being. Teacher aren't given the tools and liberty to help students, they are just expected to make sure they dont hurt themselves too much and get good test scores. It hurts educators to see kids get hurt and be set up for failure ane be told that's just what we do.
The educators that stick around either dgaf, are too burnt out and too desperate or still have thier optimism, but that seems to tend to run out eventually, or some found the unicorn, as we are told "find a school where you like the curriculum", fingers crossed I find such a mythical land.
Yeah I pretty much agree with all of this.
We're in this situation where a lot of kids don't want to be there because they're not learning what they want to learn (only what brings in the funding), but they can't leave, but they also can't fail. So, like, what are we even doing?
It's a mess but unfortunately I don't see the current clown show of a Federal Admin making any positive adjustments in the future.
EDIT: Oh, ~~1/2~~ 1/3 of the staff of the Dept of Education just got Doged, so, guess I'm a motherfucking psychic!
