While your points are solid I am against the federalization of education (and most everything else).

Some one once told me, "There are two things with which God will not help man; to find a teacher and to find a friend. You must do that on your own."

And of course, Einstein said, "There are two things eternal. Human stupidity and the universe. And I'm not even sure about the universe."

I agree about the need to get rid of the government. I used to think my husband was crazy to want to get rid of the Department of Education, but now I agree with him.

I wonder if the first step to improve education is to get rid of the federal government and to return education to local entities. Send those bureaucrats back home.

I can imagine how the libs would scream! We need someone to educate the liberals about the evils of federally mandated education. Public education is all about rules nowadays, not knowledge.
