    The Dept. of Ed. has far too much say-so in how we educate (and feed) our own children. I’d like to see the Dept. of Ed. eliminated and the wasted tax dollars go to care for our military and their families. States and locals can (and must) take care of our own kiddos.

    After that, the State of Texas needs to step up and foster the education of its children instead of the perpetual benchmarking and testing.

    Absolutely agree!

    Out of the $55 Billion spent yearly on public schools, the Federal government only provides $1.8B (for ESEA/NCLB) and in return gets to tell us how to run our schools.

    We need to find a revenue source and tell the Federal government “thanks, but no thanks.”
