Why should education be a state controlled issue?

Funding is a problem when it is determined by property values.

It gets to be very unequal.

But I agree that how they use it is just as important.  Over the past decade many of our districts have allowed buildings to deteriorate, then they close them and consolidate, then they say the schools are overcrowded and take out loans / bonds to build new ones.

Great scheme while it lasted.

And as SSF said above what students get out of the actual education is reliant a lot on the parents.
