Children grow up in a world that was not created by them, but by their parents. News at 11. Running education at the federal level is not going to suddenly lift education funding to a "10" in all states. I am not doing a good job explaining this eloquently, but the point is federalism allows states to cut education budgets, or be lavish with them, without answering to other states. States that want to be lavish do not have the clout to force the entire country to be lavish. "Every state has top quality schools with extremely generous education spending" is not an option on the table, because the states that don't want to spend money on education have a vote, too.
