Will School be separated from State any time soon? Unlikely. The public-school industry, including the unions and all the vendors selling things to school districts, is big, rich, and powerful. The education-industrial complex surely rivals the military-industrial complex in its capacity to consume tax revenues.Read the rest here.But if for no other reason, the dismal fiscal condition of the states makes this a good time to talk about separation. It certainly won’t happen if nobody ever mentions it.

So, the idea would be, get the state out of our children's education in order to get it out of our purses (in at least THAT respect)?
Too good to ever come true, I'm sorry to say I'm habituated to think. Probably a symptom of my public education!
Education costs money, who should pay? The people being educated. Should education be compulsory? Do we want to live in a country of largely uneducated citizens? Why should a government agency in Washington determine what and how a child in Wyoming should learn? What is the purpose of education anyway?
