RE: Funding Education with the Blockchain, Volume 1: Books and Wobble Stools!
With me education is a subject that is best discussed in verbal format rather than typed. One needs to really go back in our history and explore how the department of education came about and the foundations that supported the creation of it, it is just to much to try and type out and I won't bother you with it. Let me just say that the people who are in charge have us right where they want us , so don't look for any meaningful changes anytime soon.
My personal beliefs are that it should be state funded (as intended), not federally funded. Apart from that, I think the social interaction is good and healthy, so I like the classroom setting as a whole. That being said, I can also see how giving more school choice and opening up more options and possibilities for education could prove to be beneficial for many students and help them to learn more, based on their learning styles and preferences.
Also, we really need to better evaluate how the money is spent. Athletic Directors and Principals should be qualified individuals, not just old football coaches. Superintendents should not be pulling in 250-300k while teachers are making 40k. Funding for certain sports or activities should not be as much as a dozen teachers' salaries combined while other sports and extracurriculars have to do their own fundraisers just to get the bare minimum equipment and supplies.
