Public Edu philosophy and funding

Compulsory. 16 / 9 grade

Control: No nation wide curriculum set by fed. Fed exercise control by funds to special programs. Handicap and bilingual programs, not as far reached as other countries.

Education control

Tuitions

Equality of opportunity

* public school: funded by gov poor area , less money, less likely children have higher edu.
* Private/religious school not funded by gov(usual by religious org). Questions about private school student parents have to pay private school tuition and public edu tax.
* Increase secular nature equality
* pressure on use tax to private school. 
* arguments

  * lower taxes?public school offer the best change of equally. Should not be less funded. Private school diversity is its own concern.
  * parent decide, unfair tax as well as tuition

no solution to satisfy every one
 
use of the tuitions funds:

* each child to receive scholarship with educational value, schools compete the scholarship
* each child to receive scholarship with educational value, school can add tuition
  
in trouble:

* film "Stand and Deliver" poor students
