A lot of this is talk. And with due respect to my friend from Colorado, I hear the point. But I would say a lot of that is we are hearing ``we, we this, we this, we the Federal, we this.'' It really should be ``we the people at the State,'' ``we the people at the local level.'' It is important that we get some of the power that we like to monger up here among us in this House to return it back to the States, to return it back to the individual school boards. {time} 1645 Who best knows to make these decisions other than these parents and these school boards? We talk about accountability. As Dr. Phil would say, ``How has that been working for us the last 40 years?''

Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
