[quote=Anonymous]MOST of Department of Education's budget already goes to schools, to states, and to students. But even that only constitutes a tiny part of school budgets. If we got rid of Dept of Ed and states got to keep the money, schools really wouldn't see any meaningful change. Meanwhile, given well over 13,000 school districts all around the country, each typically managing millions of dollars, fraught with graft, corruption, nepotism, no-show political patronage jobs, multimillion dollar contracts to cronies, and so on, you're easily into tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions being wasted at the local level. And if you think it's "easier to catch" then you are naive. There's actually a lot more oversight and accountability at the federal level than there is at the local level. You really have no idea how things work, or what goes on under your nose in local government. [/quote]
