I know you weren't talking to me, but I'm answering anyway...not to be rude, but because I wanted to share my opinion.
Kill the Department of Education. Completely do away with it. Give back all of the money to the states, meaning reduce the taxpayers' annual burden by the amount of the (now gone) ed dept. Let the states' dept of ed. do their thing. That should save a dollar or two. It's late. Maybe on another day I'll decide on the next department to get rid of.
