Full federal control would be the Feds deciding what text book is used, letting them decide what and how to teach hot button topics. Letting the feds decide what is taught in sex ed, what is said about evolution, about religion about government.

As it stands localities have a great deal of control over what gets covered and how.

I've never read anything that suggest federal involvement in well funded districts has any net benefit. The less involved the feds are in schools in our community the better in my book.
