Homeschooling is great for children who do not relate well to their peers
Actually, studies show that homeschool kids do better academically and are socially adjusted better than public school kids. I'm an atheist so you know that I don't like the whole religious homeschool thing just on principle, but because our public schools are so awful with lib union inept teachers---even they do far far better than public schools. Department of education should be dismantled and the states should take over schooling of their kids---they certainly couldn't do any worse than what we got now.
Schools ARE run by state and local boards NOW.
They are but the federal government uses funding as a means to influence the education departments of the states.
AGAIN, the great majority of funding comes from local property taxes.
But the feds do influence State Schools by giving money with strings attached.
You work for a school are you denying this?
MOST of the influence comes from the state and local level
The federal government supplies up about 9% of State education budgets.
That amounts to billions of dollars annually. While not the majority it is certainly a wedge that applies leverage so the feds can make state public schools do what it wants or it withholds funds.
What state education board wants a 9% budget cut ?
91 percent state and local.
They make the rules, elect the school boards, hire teachers, set the curriculum, select textbooks
You just don't seem to understand how much influence federal money has
Show me
Name some of those federal regulations that are so unmanageable
Where did i say they were unmanageable?
Don't start making shit up again
You deny that federal money has any influence on state education policies.
You are, as usual, WRONG
Every single state school board will do whatever the Federal Dept of Ed tells them to do because they all need that federal money.
Don't be so fucking naive
