Oh. Well. At the the time Federal Aid to Education was started, the states were assured there would be no strings. The Feds would just collect the money because it was easier for them; ie., they are less responsive to the voters. Then they would generously return the money to the local school systems. Of course, it didn't work that way in the long run. What happened to the question I asked on what % of the school budget is federal funds? The "strings" argument is superficial. They are related to education. Curriculums are generated State wide; the feds don't control the curriculum based on busing. Which is going to change shortly with the introduction of national tests. In an indirect manner you appear to agree that the States have controlled the curriculum. Maybe it's up to the Feds to control the border. That is a Federal job. Texas has what it has. They know it. It's up to Texas to deal with it. And there is nothing that prohibits Texas from controlling it's borders...If they thought it was important enough, they can line up State Troopers on the south Texas border. Bush on the Federal side now would like to give a blanket grant of legal status. California schools suck. They run about 48 or 49. I think that's incorrect. On the link I provided you California ranks a bit higher than Texas. Although the NEA does itas best to convince parents of what they want to believe anyway- -that it can do the entire job if only it is given enough $$$$. What BS, I can remember back in the 70's the NEA promoting the importance of parental involvement [I was a teacher way back then] and they still do. Is the grading done on a scale or curve? If a curve, well, SOMEBODY is going to be at the bottom. If it's a scale someone isn't at the bottom?!!!! How do you do your scales? It doesn't seem that you bothered to look at the math proficiency scores that I pointed to. jttmab
