Well, I am not a teacher, and I am certainly not a constitutional scholar, but my guess as to the basis of power, when not talking about the areas of religion discrimination and etc. Would be the penumbral powers that comes with the general health safety and welfare clauses of the constitution.

Jefferson would disagree with you wholeheartedly. And he was an advocate of everybody being educated. Just not at the Federal level, or controlled by the Feds, in any way.
[quote"> Our tenet ever was . . . that Congress had not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but were restrained to those specifically enumerated; and that, as it was never meant that they should provide for that welfare but by the exercise of the enumerated powers, so it could not have been meant they should raise money for purposes which the enumeration did not place under their action. -- Thomas Jefferson[/quote">
Re: Teachers...What is the legal justification for Federal Govt to be in Educati pluscachange: Also, there is no "health and safety" clause or clauses in the Constitution. There is no mention of the word Health or anything relating to it. There is only one reference to safety, and it is this:
[quote"> Clause 2: The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it[/quote">
