the problem is that every state that has done that has shit education system now. and the states that have the best public education are the ones who are most reliable on local property taxes…
that’s often because in education throwing money at problems isn’t the answer. bad school districts often pay more per kid than good districts do and get far worse outcomes.
education is a cultural problem, not a money problem. rich areas with good taxes tend to value education a lot and push their children to succeed, and they do. poor areas, don’t do that.
i grew up poor. trying to be a successful student was socially punished by everyone in my community. they all wanted you to be failures like themselves. my own parents would take my book away from me and harass me for ‘being a nerd’. they wanted me to sit on my ass and do nothing all weekend like they did.
stupid people don’t want their kids to be successful.
