Get rid of the DOE, and fedgov involvement in local schools.
That’s the best solution. There is absolutely no Constituional authority for federal interference in an “education” system.
Education falls four square under states rights.
[ Get rid of the DOE, and fedgov involvement in local schools. ]
The only fedgov involvement in schooling should be a a conference held ever four years outside a hotel in DC where each state sends 2-3 representatives to discuss what subjects should represent what grade for instance:
8th grade should have the following levels of proficiency in English, math, geography, science, etc...
These RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY are then used by the states themselves to HELP DESIGN their curriculum.
If a State wants to design their learning to surpass those standards, that is fine, is a state wants to stay below them, that is fine too. ( but most states would want to meet or exceed them for obvious reasons )
It should only cost the fedgov about 1 million AT MOST every four years.
DONE!
Let the states handle the rest! All the fed should ever do is a set a RECOMMENDED STANDARD, and that is it IF EV#EN THAT.
