In your opinion, what should be managed at the federal level and what should be managed at the state level?
Let hear it!

Go on..education
At local or state levels, your communities can determine what is important when educating kids.Go on..
I think federal govt should focus on military/security and foreign relations. Everything else can be state level!At local or state levels, your communities can determine what is important when educating kids.
Plus federal govt is inefficient and a waste at some things.
I agree.I think federal govt should focus on military/security and foreign relations. Everything else can be state level!
Education should be all at state level or local level and the Federal Dept of Education should be done away with.
The state should allocate a certain $ amount per student! So every school should have the amount they need depending on how many students they have!I sort of think federal government should be responsible for education. Too many schools don't get the funding they need at the state level and the gov't only allocates a small portion for education. I'm not really sure if the feds are the answer but there are too many schools in the country that are substandard. One entity should be held accountable.
Charlie Murphy!The south can't even talk about the Civil War without calling it "The War of Northern Aggression", but i'm supposed to trust them with educational standards.

Yes, each community should be able to choose what the kids learn in order to best serve their community when they are adults.The south can't even talk about the Civil War without calling it "The War of Northern Aggression", but i'm supposed to trust them with educational standards.

Actually you’re right! There needs to be a national standard of what is taught! We can’t have some states teaching something that contradicts what other states are teaching!The south can't even talk about the Civil War without calling it "The War of Northern Aggression", but i'm supposed to trust them with educational standards.

Perhaps base learning can be standardized up to a certain grade level, then at a certain point the community can have more influence in that regard!Yes, each community should be able to choose what the kids learn in order to best serve their community when they are adults.
If that's agriculture, engineering, carpentry, electrical, studying the Bible etc, that's what would be the best for their community.
Too much education is centered around meeting regulations and passing the numerous standardized tests. Kids are less equipped in many regards for life as an adult.Perhaps base learning can be standardized up to a certain grade level, then at a certain point the community can have more influence in that regard!

Maybe there's a reason why the public schools in the cities are so screwed up?Somehow I don't think people who are already experiencing "economic anxiety" due to their industries fucking off to the third world are the best to be telling children what it is they should be knowing about the world.
If their worldview was so valuable in the academic sphere, they wouldn't have to cry to the feds to bring their jobs back instead of moving on and specializing into something else. Unemployed coal miners would be educating future unemployed coal miners, if you will.
A national baseline standard of learning is a good thing, i'm not sure why people have such an opposition to it. States that are unable to meet that baseline will be drug to it, and those who want to go beyond will go beyond. And it stops goofy theocracy nuts from attempting to violate the constitution by thinking their special snowflake religion belongs in the classroom.

Parenting and morality. The city kids would be benefited if a good local Bible Pastor taught them about God and his word in the Bible.Not sure I was talking about the cities, but okay.
So rip, what is the problem with public schools in the cities? You appear to have something that "someone is saying" that you that you're dying to say.
That would be fine but the students should also be taught a broader spectrum of things, should they decide to move out of that community when they get older!Too much education is centered around meeting regulations and passing the numerous standardized tests. Kids are less equipped in many regards for life as an adult.
Maybe they would be better equipped if they had the skills needed to be an adult in the community they are in.
