Those problems that you listed were implemented at the local/state level, lol. Are you arguing for tighter federal control and enforcement? Smh.
DOE sets aptitude and academic progress standards and testing requirements. State and local school boards determine on how to educate their kids, but must meet (or show progress towards meeting) federal standards. If some school districts want to get rid of letter grades and people don't like it, they should take it up with their local school board.
