As the constitution reads.. The 10th Amendment "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Jimmy added the DoE as a quid pro quo for helping him get elected...

I'm not sure of all the other countries stances out there on this matter... I do know that in Canada their view on education is not a federal concern.  Each county takes care of their own concerns.  The Federal government may kick in some money... I am not sure if they do... But each county has its boards and each province has its unions... It's not a macro-country-wide thing.

I am personally okay with a small Federal government with a limited footprint in our lives.  Having a federal government work on a strict budget where the US tax payer's money helps the US tax payers and doesn't fund endless wars and is used to protect foreign counties borders and the US is left wide open.

If there is funding for education... Let the federal government write checks to the State and let the State fund it in the way they choose... and the people can chose if they are doing a good job or not.

Name one federal agency that does a good Job??   DoD can't account for Trillions....
