Why would anyone want that, neef? What is the logic?
Devolution is merely my "outside of the box" suggestion as to what could be happening.
More certain is this.
Public education is funded by local property taxes and managed by locally elected school committees.
I would rather it be funded by federal income tax and controlled by the federal department of education.
I'm not looking to debate this right here; we both already know I'm a central government advocate.
Now here's the thing. Conservative Middle Americans don't like paying taxes, including local ones,
and they don't like the teachers [only they call it not liking the teachers' unions, which of course, are the teachers],
and they certainly don't like throwing a lot of money at public education.
They even want to take money AWAY from public education to get vouchers for their unaccredited Jesus schools, Jesus help us all.
Here, we do throw money at education with our property taxes, but we're still stuck with un-professional elected school committees,
NOT properly accredited PhDs in education which is what I would prefer.
In any case, coastal education [except for Florida] is at least close to the better global standards, while Middle American education is pretty much third world.
Now we have Joe Sixpack from West Bumfuck, Kansas, feeling the intellectual inequity between himself and Nifty from Boston,
and instead of seeking to improve himself, he chooses to hate Nifty from Boston, largely for Nifty using polysyllabic words that Joe doesn't understand.
That's how Joe Sixpack convinces himself that he wants vile things, anything different from what the "elitist' Nifty wants.
All of this, of course, is pretty much self evident and probably doesn't require further discussion between us. Agreed?
