The human nature of it is that we the people will find or insist on competent education, with NO need, none, for centralized federal government interdiction. Basic Algebra has NOT changed since 1060 AD.
Really, just eliminate the US Dept of Education! The States, or the local jurisdictions, CAN administer it (as they did for decades). This is a teacher speaking.

“ED currently administers a budget of $69.9 billion in discretionary appropriations (including discretionary Pell Grant funding) under the FY 2011 Continuing Resolution annualized level and operates programs that touch on every area and level of education. The Department’s elementary and secondary programs annually serve nearly 14,000 school districts and approximately 56 million students attending some 99,000 public schools and 34,000 private schools. Department programs also provide grant, loan, and work-study assistance to more than 15 million postsecondary students.”
