Except the people effected are not the people making the choices. No child today voted for a reduction in education budgets. Given how much the volatility of job market causes people to move many people don't have much of a choice when choosing which state to live. Disadvantaging people because their parents happen to work in South Carolina and members of their parents generation decided to cut funding is the exact opposite of "reaping what you sow". An out dated view for a system designed before instant access communication.
- sliverstorm 11y agoChildren grow up in a world that was not created by them, but by their parents. News at 11. Running education at the federal level is not going to suddenly lift education funding to a "10" in all states. I am not doing a good job explaining this eloquently, but the point is federalism allows states to cut education budgets, or be lavish with them, without answering to other states. States that want to be lavish do not have the clout to force the entire country to be lavish. "Every state has top quality schools with extremely generous education spending" is not an option on the table, because the states that don't want to spend money on education have a vote, too.
