You inadvertently stumbled onto the gist of the matter.
When the Federal government "gives" money to the schools ... that is, money confiscated from citizens nationwide ... it imposes conditions on the schools.
Then ... the state "gives" money to the schools ... that is, money confiscated from citizens statewide ... and from adjoining states if they can figure out a way to get their hands on it ... and then the state imposes more conditions on the schools.
And of course ... the same things happens with counties, cities, and townships ... and they impose yet more conditions on the school.
And where does that leave the saps from whom all this money was confiscated? Siddown ... shaddup ... gimme more money!
That, my friend ... is the problem with all socialist (government owned and operated) institiutions ... which dooms them all to failure.
The God-Utopia of socialists ... the Soviet Union ... was a miserable failure which completely collapsed ... yet sappy voters allow leftist politicians to engage the same methodology in the instruction of their children.
There is a solution ... which I proffered earlier on this thread ... completely remove government from education ... and let the market work its same efficient magic on this business ... as it does on all others.
