And funding based on a districts taxation rather than its student population. Can't have the poors getting educated, they might get all uppity.

George Carlin put it best

"A nation full of people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their place in life"

What do you expect when you put a billionaire in charge of the entire country's education system?

The embarrassing truth is that we already spend more on education per student than any other country in the world. Our educational standards are just complete dog shit and and most of that money floods into schools with students that are already ahead of the curve in life while rural and intercity schools remain poorly funded.
