Schools should be returned to the community level --- let people decide if they will have a school in their community and how much they will pay for it. The federal government should get entirely out of "education".
Bush makes me uneasy in these areas. Arlen Spector, Spellings, big education: these are the things I don't relish about him. V's wife.
Schools should not exist, except for the children of truly disabled parents, and even then, it would be better to place such children with other homeschooling parents.
