You're trying to dredge up public misconceptions again. Most (over 90%) of funding for schools come from local taxes -- the feds have little or nothing to do with it. Where is there in the federal budget a $ 500 billion budget for public education? There are way too many incompetent teachers as it is. The question should be asked how effectively the public officials are using the current funds not appropriate more funds. The problem with schools is with the parents, teachers, and the students.

Budgets for law enforcement and criminal justice system are made separately from the school budgets. Again, almost all the budget is local. You're trying to dredge up local issues for which the federal government has little influence on outcomes.

I don't believe in creationism.

Private schools have the advantage of denying admissions. Public schools have to let in problem kids and babysit them while these kids deny others of their education.
