I think the federal government should stay out of education ENTIRELY. They have plenty of other problems that they clearly cannot deal with as it is. The states are perfectly capable of handling their own education. Plus keeping it at a local level allows for regions to have their children be taught how the see fit. If the schools in California want to teach evolution and schools in Utah want to teach creationism thats fine. Why should we force one or the other on the ENTIRE nation?
Also, I think homeschooling and private schools are great too. The allow for more flexibility and the students do better on standardized tests anyway.
