"Sure, as soon as they can point to where in the Constitution the federal government is given any authority over education."
My thought, as well, although I had it pointed out to me yesterday that they use the commerce clause to cover just about anything that isn't covered elsewhere.
Perhaps if they would stop trying to leave no child behind, students who truly excel in math and science would have a chance.

Is the NEA still opposed to tracking students into different classes? Some children more intelligent or ready to learn than others. Should they be held back to the level on a student who is just barely passing the watered down drivel that passes for education now?

That bears repeating.
