Not only that, but you have to run your educational system according to the rules and regulations set up by the federal government. Some of these may not work in Florida. What works in Montana doesn't necessarily work in Florida.

It might be better if the federal government didn't take this money away from Florida in the first place. Let us keep our own money and deal with our own problems. I don;t think that a plane ride from Tallahassee to Washington DC makes a person all that much smarter.
