Private schools dont have to play by federal rules, why give them federal money? Private schools pick and choose what students that take, public schools take on all comers. And the 2nd largest educator statewise, is Texas. There are NO unions in Texas... There is no such thing as a Texas teacher striking (which imo is absurd anyway...) California, the largest education state, does not have many very extensive strikes that I have seen.
I got more...

You are confusing your opinion with facts. The fact is that this was a total union concession. Why shouldn't all schools and its students and teachers get to feed at the federal trough? Shouldn't all schools that are part of the American education system get to try to improve?
It is a joke of a package that will do nothing but eventually cause the inflation that is sure to come to be worse. The govt is very poor at creating anything but more govt.
The biggest problem I have always had with Bush is that he sabotaged his own tax cuts with excessive govt spending. Now we get the real misery of much more govt spending and phony tax cuts which are actually tax rebates. The only stimulation here is the fuc king the Americans who have jobs and businesses are going to get.
