An early step would probably be some sort of federal scheme for more evenly funding schools, to remove some of this incentive in the first place.
- brianwawok 11y agoSo if all schools get identical funding: 1) I would be annoyed if I paid 10x the property tax as other places and got none of the benefit. On the other hand there is plenty of money to go around, we can share the wealth some. But: 2) would probabbly just do private school as the public school is no longer safe / a good place to get an education I just moved out of Chicago because everyone has to do #2 to get a good school for their kids because of #1. I don't think this really works in the end. I don't know what the answer is but trying to make all schools equal just ends up bad. Maybe a race blind IQ test to determine what school your kid gets in? But then you need to really be race and money and everything blind and strictly go by merrit.
