Close the Education Department!

This week’s release of the latest international education test comparisons makes me wonder why there aren’t more calls to kill off the U.S. Department of Education. Eight years ago, Bush signed the “No Child Left Behind Act,” which costs the government $25 billion a year. He promised that this would fix the K-12 education problem: “We've spent billions of dollars with lousy results. So now it's time to spend billions of dollars and get good results.” But of course, his central planning did not bring the good results. The US spends more than $100,000 on a kids’ entire K-12 education.
