Should be a combination of the 2 to decide where funding goes. Don't just provide more funding where kids are performing, add funding where it's needed, high teacher turnover and other indicators of a school needing support.

Some basics should remain centralised, including distribution of water, food, shelter, education and health-care. States should put forth their best plans for delivering high standards of schooling. It appears likely a better model would be central-state collaboration for both education and health. For example, it is incredulous that Australia has 9 different laws regarding abortion in the country in the 21st century!!

By and large schools are useless - I would recommend the government gets rid of them

The education system needs an overhaul. We are teaching kids to confirm and live in fear just like most adults do. To not think for themselves and question everything they are being taught.

Keep some federal funding to ensure national equity, but give states more control over how that money is spent.

School education should always be a top priority but unfortunately I believe the education system are failing our children every day

To a degree, I believe we should help fund the less fortunate schools rather than pump the more privileged schools

 @B4ZHWQNanswered…3mos3MO

Additional funding should be provided to state/public schools, with systems implemented to encourage skilled teachers and administrators to enter the public system. Government funding to Private Schools should be cut, and based on development programs and community needs.
