Republicans want it both ways

I don't understand why the conservatives are so wishy-washy about oversight. When it comes to our schools, they want teachers on a short leash: No Child Left Behind has huge oversight, rigorous testing, and a centralized curriculum, leaving educators little room to use their judgement & expertise to teach their own students the things they are ready for in a method that's best for them.

However, when it comes to business, we get bills like the first 700 billion dollar bailout bill, we get language that grants spending power to an appointed individual with no oversight, restrictions, or reports.

Why does our congress trust CFOs and businessmen with $700bil of our money, but they don't trust our schoolteachers with their paltry portion of the $56bil spent annually on education? [citation] Maybe our schoolteachers aren't contributing to politicians campaign funds the way wall street can.
