We continue our discussion around the Department of Education and explore some of the reasons why critics support dismantling or significantly reducing it. 

We explore the 10th Amendment, which provides protection for state and local autonomy by reserving rights to them that are not specifically designated to the federal government. We also look at the No Child Left Behind Act as an example of how national policies can impose a one-size-fits-all approach to the nuanced process of educating to the needs of the student. 

This is also our last episode for the season. We will be taking a short break but will return in January with more topics to explore and discuss!
