What effect did the tenth amendment to the u.s. constitution have upon public education?

The 10th amendment states that any power not given specifically to the federal government is then reserved for the states. In this scenario, public education is not a power given specifically to the federal government. So this means that each state individually gets to decide how to structure their schools, what standards/curriculum they adopt, and the course load that students in the K-12 grades will complete.
