School choice can help rid of failing schools, more competition could lead to better oversight of corruption, and schools can still get federal funding without huge, useless department doing it.

DOE hasn't existed very long and hasn't made things better. Essentially, get rid of it completely or reduce what it does signficantly.

So far, school choice hasn't done those things.  

School choice, in the form of charter schools, has been rife with abuse.  The oversight has simply not been there, and competition hasn't done anything to help.  Competition between schools, whether public, charter, or private, has mostly served as motivation to fudge numbers and to eliminate the lowest performers.  

School choice hasn't had a chance to thrive yet so lets not pretend competition truly exist. School unions have been at war with charter schools and hindered their progress.

Public schools often like to ignore test scores but national tests show which are doing a poor job. Either way the direction Trump seems to be moving things can't be worse. We keep spending more on K-12 eductation with no results.
