We must spend 30-50% of state budgets, monopolize children’s time, and expose them to violence and drugs so they can learn to socialize.

- mgaunard 2y agoWe don't spend 50% of state budgets on primary/secondary education.
- whiterknight 2y agoIt does if you consider the part going to your county: “In 2022, the federal government spent … This is 13.6% of the total spent on elementary and secondary education in 2022. The remaining funding comes from state and local governments, which contribute 43.7% and 42.7%, respectively.”
- feoren 2y agoYou've misread that. It is not saying that 43.7% of the state budget goes to elementary and secondary education. It is saying that 43.7% of the funding for education comes from the state. Those are completely different.
- whiterknight 2y agoNo. If 20% of the state budget is then that amount is matched by an equal part local. So state + local education would be 40% of the state budget. education (property tax) dominates local spend. So yes we do tax and spend extraordinary amounts on education.

- Loughla 2y agoThe most recent number I could find is from 2021, and on average, states spent 21.5% of their budget on k-12 education.
- whiterknight 2y agoThe state and local pay about equal portions. But do you have anything to say about the argument in my comment?
- ricardobeat 2y agoWas there an argument? Lots of places in the world have state-backed top-notch free education, without the guns and violence.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoWhat argument?
