Public Choices

States aren't going to be able to have it both ways. They can either take federal money and give up on flexibility, or they can demand flexibility by telling Washington to get out of the education business. What they can't do is the impossible: fixing our "one size fits all" schools by demanding ever more federal dollars.

AMEN. I know I'm probably dreaming, but I hope there will be a movement now to get the federal government out of the education business.
