Then when you send anything to the Feds you only get back .70 cents per dollar and whatever other waste occurs along the line.
You want good schools? Privatize them all.

Just because they recieve funding from the federal govt doesnt imply they lose all control over the school system in their state.
I would rather address the specific federal guidelines and controls people disagree with from the federal govt....they could still recieve funding without those guidelines or controls if those guidelines or controls are deemed harmful and causing problems rather than helping.
So what are the specific controls and guidelines set by the federal govt that you have a problem with?
Privatizing is not some magic answer or solution...there are just as many problems there. There is just as much corruption and waste in the private sector as there is in the govt...they just have less accountablity and transparency which actually makes private a bit more of a problem than the public sector is.
If all were private and we privatized the education system as you suggest...what happens to all the people who cant afford to send their kids to school?
