It is hard for the feds to do more than throw money. Education is a state or even a local issue. Obama cannot be seen telling school boards what to teach else half the country recoil from the concept.

If they want to throw money around, they should fund an individual tutor voucher program which offers students a choice in how the money is spent.

Then students can spend the money directly on additional teacher salaries by seeking out individual instruction rather than spend it on proprietary learning materials.

Improving education isn't hard if the student/teacher ratio is 1.
