“Limit the role of government in America's schools and trust that the free market — and parent choice — will lead to innovation and improvement.” In my opinion, this is the way schooling should be. America was founded on a free-market economy in which the Federal Government played a very small role. For a market economy to work the Federal Gov. must only set the minimal standard and then let the states experiment with things in their own way to find out what does and does not work (I’m paraphrasing Ben Franklin there). I also agree that in Federally funded programs, the Federal government has the power to step into the playing field of education and enforce their rules.  I think Devos has some good ideas for education; however, I do agree that her new policies may have a scary impact on federally or state funded public schools.
