[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly does the Dept of Ed do? [/quote] According to their website, not a whole lot, which is not surprising since public education is a state obligation (according to Federal court rulings). The US situation is different from more centralized countries (e.g., France) where a national curriculum is chosen by central government - rather than by local school boards as is usual in the US. For example, the "Common Core" is a voluntary consortium created jointly by several states, not something handed down from the Federal DoEd. [/quote]
