re: #239 Obdicut

How is that an answer? Don’t move to the town? What if the town changes? What if your dream job is there?

Many of these ‘local control’ arguments seem to wind up arguing that people will naturally segregate themselves into communities of like-minded people— which would be a problem we want to avoid, not encourage.

I don’t think the feds should have zero involvement but I think it’s the locals that have to fund the vast majority of the system and then deal with the results. It should be up to them to decide the curriculum.

How does that logically follow? Shouldn’t what’s best for the kids and education be our guiding light in this?

Where do you believe you get the right to tell a town in the middle of Nebraska how they’re to educate their children? You don’t live there, you don’t pay taxes there, and you won’t have to deal with the consequences. Unless you’re footing the bill then maybe you should just keep quiet about how they spend their money. You think that somehow since you may want to move their someday that gives you a vote on local issues, it doesn’t. How about you worry about your school district and let me worry about mine.
