Well, other than the mandates of No Child Left Behind that the schools can’t possibly fund, so as such they have to take a ton of money out of their general funding to help the students who are struggling (and sometimes don’t care) the most, when it could be going toward all students, I think the only major problem is inequality of school budgets. Suburban areas approve their budgets with large tax bases and higher percentages, and their kids prosper. Urban schools where they can’t afford it suffer. Ideally school taxes would be a standard percentage across the state, but then the suburbs would basically be subsidizing the inner city in just one more way. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/public-education-system/13602)._
