        Our school district (Douglas County, Colorado) is amazing. Republican county.

        That’s a bold-face lie. All the states at the bottom in public education are republican-ran, since it matters so much to you. SC, NV, NM, AL, LS, MS, WV, AZ.https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education …

        Yes but fewer cities have a more atrocious track record on educational spending. For goodness sake Baltimore managed to lose millions of dollars one year and had no idea where it went.

        'Currently, the federal government spends little on improving school infrastructure, leaving the bulk of the financing to come from the state and local governments.' Why does the FEDERAL government spend any money on LOCAL schools?

        Control. Even though the federal government SAID the states were in charge of education, they didn’t really mean it.

        I've never understood the logic of sending local tax dollars to bureaucrats in DC so they can send some back to local schools with strings attached. But then again I've read the Constitution.

        With a budget of $15k/student/year, Baltimore can't manage basic building maintenance. The Hawaii Nuclear Warning guys are more competent than that.

        Schools falling apart are mainly in areas run by socialists. Socialized education, socialized medicine, socialized retirement, socialized anything means eventual failure.

        @MotherJones it would be fascinating to compare quality of schools to salaries of Administrators and districts’ staff.

        You need to go to Virginia and look at Richmond and Petersburg all they are worried about is changing names of the schools and not how bad the schools are.
