This is more of a question rather than a position. Should there be a federal aspect to education in America? Constitutionally there is no provision for any aspect of federal government being involved in education and as a whole has caused a lot of issues with schooling in the attempt to make all states schools equally credible. What would be a solution if the federal government wasn't involved anymore? Or how could we make it more effective as it stands now?

Where control is localized, regarding education, the better and more efficient that education will be, because it will concentrate on matters important to the locality. There are many such concerns, not just education, that were specifically missing from the Constitution because the Founding Fathers did not believe Congress ought to legislate every facet of our lives. There are really only eighteen specific subjects outlined in Article I that Congress should legislate. If only they would deal with those restricted items, and let the States and local governments handle the rest, but, Congress is greedy.
