it's about time and local control. when i was teaching they gave out pink slips every year because the doe would take upwards of 15 months to redistribute funds back to the states for education. keep the money local and it will be used faster and better. it would also keep california from stealing every smaller states funding. the only real argument you should make is control, when mrs obama wanted her healthy lunches initiatives pushed they used the doe and threat of withholding money to force schools to stop using locally sourced and cooked food and replace it with govt approved worse than what we give prisoners food, ie ketchup is a vegetable.
