Plan Would Nationalize Schools to End Disparities

Scott Simon (NPR):

Matt Miller has a radical but simple proposal to improve the nation's public schools: federalize funding to eliminate disparities in per-pupil funding between poor and affluent communities. He also proposes a single set of federal standards for math, science and reading, instead of letting each state set its own standards. Scott Simon speaks with Miller, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.

A reader forwarded Miller's proposal earlier in the week.
