If you had a handle on history you would know that it was Thomas Jefferson, among others, that proposed, and started, public education through the second year of college.http://lwv.org/content/history-federal-government-public-education-where-have-we-been-and-how-did-we-get-hereYou are correct in the idea that the control of the schools was to be local, however, over the years that control (like so many others issues) of the matter has been acquiesced to the "powers that be". When parents quit being involved it left a gap in the control which was quickly filled by those with a different agenda. back in the 80's a book was written titled "Dumbing Us Down". Look it up.
