But you didn't answer the questions. Without any type of educational oversight from the government there will only be those levels set by existing (and new) private schools. Public schools will all but cease to exist and the quality of education in this country could dramatically sink.

Sure the founding fathers didn't write all this into th constitution, but then the founding fathers weren't overseeing a country that was a world super power and in charge of one of the top 2 biggest economies in the world. Without education this country will fail miserably. Without some sort of rules and oversight the quality of the educational system could sink very fast. We would would have liberty, yes and we will know the pledge of allegiance, but sadly we will have to memorize it because we won't be able to read it.
