Hard pass. This is the game where low taxed States fleece the taxpayers from high tax, high GDP States. I have to say, I got a chuckle that you'd skip right over the obvious.."make each State fund their own education"kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 3:35 pm How does the government implement social support systems federally? Too cumbersome. The people in DC don't even know what the needs of people in every city/rural are, yet alone able to provide it efficiently.
Federal implementation of education just isn't feasible, or able to be even remotely efficient or successful, on a large scale.
IMO, the only model that even remotely comes close to being successful is one like NCLB. That provided very general outlines for use of federal funding and showing measured success. But having covered education for a newspaper during that program's heyday, even that was way too cumbersome, clumsy and inefficient. Good idea. Hard to implement. If you even want to start talking about federal implementations, the framework has to be even more general than NCLB. Want to improve education? The biggest challenge to US education is disparity in facilities on a district by district basis. Let the feds keep giving money.
Put your money where your beliefs are, Kramerica. You think it's not feasible for Federal .gov to direct education, great!
Let the States pay for it, soup to nuts. They get total control over what's taught. Not the county/or school districts....the State. And THEY pay for what they want, for a freaking change.
Picture what that would do. The Rich suburbs get the same money as the poor areas do for schools. Suddenly Republicans would find their wallets for taxes as junior can't afford a microscope or textbooks.
Sounds great. When do we start?
