I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Hawaii and as I understand it, most that can afford to do so, send their kids to private schools. Is that true?
So the schools are funded kind of centrally versus locally with property taxes?

Basically all I’ve seen from this administration is what they’re against (healthcare, education, diversity, environment/climate, science, equity, inclusion, regulations, etc.), but like, are they for anything besides the antithesis of those?
That’s mostly how it is now, no?
This is in Canada?
Good points. Thanks.
While I’m not against homeschooling, it seems more like a privilege that I would say most families in the U.S. cannot have one parent drop out of the workforce to pursue.
So would that look like pulling all say from the states and putting all funding, policy, etc. at the federal level?
It does seem that way with the tax credit and school choice push. Is the DoE the answer or could it be handled better at the state or regional level?
Agreed on both. How would funding work then? Should it be handled at the state level, by U.S. regions like New England or the Mid-Atlantic, or should it stay at the federal level?
I wasn’t previously aware, but apparently, Canada leaves it up to their provinces to decide. Interesting that they perform so well when their system sounds similar to what those pushing for state control in the U.S. want.
Interestingly, I was just trying to have a conversation about this at https://lemmy.world/post/27067695
Curious what people think is the right way to address education in the U.S.
As a long time 95 Toyota pickup owner, I understand.
“More fake news. Putin and I have a tremendous relationship. Probably the best ever between our countries… He wasn’t laughing at me; he was laughing at crooked Joe. The call was perfect, absolutely perfect. We discussed many important things, including hockey and Ukraine, and we’re making great progress. But the dishonest media won’t tell you that. They’re all a scam. Don’t forget to pick up a new Trump Bible for only $49.99 on the Whitehouse website. Tremendous quality.”
I surely haven’t felt any empathy for him as I’ve watched Tesla’s stock free fall…
What’s even the point of this administration?
I agree. The problem is not all the resources but control. With renewables, public transportation, bicycles, and plant based diets, we could sustain everyone without manufactured scarcity. But that is vilified as socialism, as if that is a bad thing. The means exist, but the system keeps a few in control even at the cost of collapse.
I trust you, 96 Toyota Camry enthusiast.
Water, land, energy, and key minerals are all becoming more contested. Water scarcity is getting worse. Farmland is drying up. The energy transition depends on materials controlled by a few countries. Even with food, current production is wrecking the environment, creating dead zones, killing fisheries, and making future yields worse. Raising prices only goes so far when nations start taking what they need.
I truly believe that the geopolitical tensions we’re witnessing today are largely a response to what nations see on the horizon from a climate standpoint. As resource scarcity becomes inevitable, countries are maneuvering to secure their positions ahead of the coming resource wars.

Whats interesting about Canada is that they have largely decentralized education with success. I wasn’t aware of that until recently.
