[QUOTE="revanneosl, post: 51783844, member: 179788"] The decline in the quality of high schoold education [I]is[/I], in a way, attributable to Federal intervention, though not in the way you are implying. "Back in the day" our nationd didn't even [I]attempt[/I] to provide a High School education for everyone. High School was just what its name implies: "high" school - a high educational attainment for those who had shown previous aptitude. But then, as a nation, we decided to attempt a glorious experiment: providing a High School education for [B][I]everyone[/I][/B]. Since some people are simply more capable than others, having the entire population in the mix [I]necessarily[/I] dragged the average down. We can debate whether it's wise public policy to attempt post-literacy education for an entire population, but first we have to get past the myth that it's about local vs. federal control. Here's a chart: [IMG]http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/oo345/revanneosl/561px-Educational_attainment.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
