I kind of have to agree with Alan on that one, if anything we need schools to be regulated more on the federal level. The inequality in education standards from state to state are appalling, and in some cases the differences between school districts within a state can be mind boggling, Virginia (the state I live in) being a prime example as it has some of the best public schools in the country in its northern counties but the southern and western areas of the state are barely meeting state standards, some are even shutting down because they can't afford enough teachers.
