Negative change to failing education systems

NOTE: failing education systems = American education system [u]What is centralized education?[/u] Centralized education is a reformation that would take the funding and organization of schools out of the power of cities and towns and into the power of states. [u]What does it accomplish?[/u] It attempts to accomplish many things. One being the movement to stop the notion that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Most decentralized education fails because rich children live in rich towns and poor children live in poor towns and cities. This means that when parents pay taxes, poor children get stuck in poor schools and rich children get stuck in rich schools. This is inequality at its most dangerous level, because education is the most important mean of alleviating poverty. These kinds of schools also champion stronger education funding in general. So rich students also benefit by going to schools like this. [u]What is the opposition?[/u] Funding, of course. But education investments goes directly back into the economy. So yeah, you have to pay upfront, but you make your money back and more. No business man would pass up easy money making opportunities like this (money making opportunities in terms of economic growth, not scamming college students with loans). The difficulty in all of this is the fact that this generally stays as reformation movement only within states (logistically, students cannot travel hundreds of miles to school each day). Since it isn't a national movement, it makes it hard to get public support. But in the states that have implemented these kinds of reformations, there been huge payoffs and successes. Basically, do you think this reformation would good if it were implemented all over the America?
