A lot of RWs say that at random times as if it were common sense.
But, if we look around the world at all the countries whose educational systems are generally acknowledged to product better results than America's, the one thing they all have in common is centralized national control of the school system. In France, it is said, the Minister of Education always knows what page of what textbook all students of a given grade level are looking at at that monent.
The only thing wrong with the DoE is that it does not have enough power. No good will ever come of giving more and more autonomy to county school boards.
