You would. However, the federal government provides like three percent of the money spent on education in this country. States spend the money and set priorities. The federal government is a minor player.
And what is wrong with national testing? Isn't that a good thing? No child left behind is about reading and writing. If local districts wanted to change the curriculum, the only option would be to not teach reading and writing.
What could possibly be wrong with the Federal government wanting schools to teach reading and writing. Wouldn't this be good on its own even without the funding? Isn't the funding just frosting on the cake?
