So blue states aren't going to be subsidizing education in poor red states anymore? Okay. I guess that's what's happening.

💯. It’s a lot easier to control a dumb population. Which is why many centuries ago the men in power invented that fairytale of how we lived inside a fish for 3 days and an imaginary being in the sky sees everything. It was invented (and sadly is still around) to control the gullible masses. If you misbehave, you go to hell.
Yup. Look how many believed the RWNJ disinformation.

When you correct for student demographics, Arizona is 13th.

How do you think those reports get filed? You think somebody chants a spell and waves a magic wand?
It takes 800 labor hours to complete each of those reports. For the Department of Commerce, stupid stuff like how many kilowatt hours of electricity were consumed and how many gallons of water and what did they purchase and what did the sell/auction/destroy/dispose of and what assets were depreciated and how many hours did teachers, staff, administrators and other employees work and how many injuries and reported illnesses and time off and badabeebadaboo.
And that's just for the Department of Commerce quarterly report.
Do you have any idea what school districts spend on compliance?
Compliance is not optional. It's a requirement. Failure to comply invites sanctions for the school district, the State or both and the Departments of Education and Commerce have wide-ranging powers to levy sanctions.
Don't file your quarterly report with the Department of Ed? Better hope there was an earthquake, tornado or hurricane because you're gonna be fined.
The discipline section alone is a nightmare. It's no wonder schools don't want to discipline kids because you gotta spend 40 labor hours gathering the data to report a single incident.
In fact, if you bothered to read any of the reports issued by Senate and House Committees on education you'd know the States spend in excess of 50 Million labor hours to process the paperwork mandated by the federal government.
Y'all whine about teachers salaries, well end the federal mandates and there'll be tons o' money to give teachers a pay raise. In fact, you could probably increase their salaries 50% because that's how much money school districts spend to be compliant with federal mandates.
What the Department of Education does is raise the cost of education without raising student achievement.
Milton Friedman was right. Education need to be publicly funded because it's in the country's best interest but families must have choices.
To that end Arizona does it right. 90% of the money spent on your child at a public school can be used by the family to pay for a private school.
Arizona also added on-line learning to reduce costs to tax-payers.
How? These so-called autistic students are disruptive and distracting and ruin learning in the classroom because of their frequent outbursts and it costs money because school districts have to hire people to help teachers manage these autistic kids in the classroom and the autistic kids aren't learning anything.
By letting those students stay home with their care-giver who knows them way better than school staff and can supervise them properly saves school districts money and the care-giver knows when their child is "in a learning mood" and can get them online to complete tasks and assignments.
It's a win-win for everyone.

Ok.
NCLB.
Common Core (and don't give me "the Governors adopted it". If states didn't adopt the federal money was reduced or shut off).
PARCC (same as Common Core).
ESSA (see above).
Do they "set" curriculum? No. Do they force adoption of various initiatives that have set guidelines for curriculum? Yes.
Disclaimer: NCLB made sense to me as far as setting a floor. The problem came in the implementation and the various "stakeholders" that ended up developing the standards. They made it punitive. Same, sort of, with Common Core. As transient as society is it makes some sense to have some standardization across the states. The problem came with its adoption and the wholesale changes in methods, pedagogy and curriculum it had. That, and the ignoring of Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development and pushing concepts down to where most kids didn't have the cognitive maturity to understand them. As a teacher it looked like much of it was designed for the top 10% of students instead of the 70% of average students.
