Education has changed since the 3rs...
But we do agree it has to be done slowly.
I don't get the feeling many of your brethren do...
That scares me, hitting the monster all at once will get us in BIG trouble...
Also there will still be a few things that, despite not being in the Constitution, will need a national hand. Highways, FAA and the like. I still feel there is need for a national education standard for teachers and curriculum, a much improved one of course.
If need be we need to amend the Constitution to add that to appease the "need" some have then so be it (Such an amendment could be a dangerous thing IMHO, Pandora's box)
Re: computers, etc., the states can handle. I think making EVERYONE learn CS is sort of stupid. Kids take to comps like ducks to water anyway..
Yeah, the FAA is a toughie. Eventual goal would be industry standards.
I know it's painful to think of certain states having deficient systems, but you know most won't. It will be tough love, IMO.
