Education should aim for preparing the young for their adult pursuits. Since different regions have differing predominant industries, natural environments, and varied legacy and historical working dynasticism of sorts - the centralization of education was a huge mistake.
Not just in terms of the idiosyncratics of thinking that uniformity is superior over diversification, intellectually. Almost every school it touched lost several high value areas of study in highly practical subjects.
Money was increased through the centralized belief how much, rather than how money was utilized mattered more in a given area.
The federalism of education was a glaring catastrophic failure by the progressive left. There's no room for debate here the school assessments and global rankings and costs are in fact, proof positive of it. The drop out rate is abysmal. The math and reading profficience has been lowered twice to hide the failure. Colleges are becoming a joke at this point.
Enough!
Those who argue the point made ought be scruitinized about why beyond their vapid assertions like nonsense about "uniform standards"
Which, by the way, never were done since it would be impossible even if it were cost allowable.
