I have a radical idea. Get the government totally out of education.
Where in the Constitution is authority given for government involvement here?

I fully support abolishing the federal department of education. However when you say ‘the government’ you do have to remember that the vast majority of education management nd funding is done at the state level, and most state constitutions do talk about education.

Thus asking for where in the constitution such a thing might be means checking your state constitution.

Now I should also mention I don’t believe in public education at all. We don’t have public supermarkets and yet parents do manage to feed their children. Schools should all be private, and then you could provide some form of grants for needy children to go to school. Public education is yet another form of middle (and upper) class entitlement.

AMEN to that! Trying to reform an inherently Marxist system is like, pardon the expression, polishing a turd.
