Most and least educated states in the U.S.

[Flash]

The top 1% are ruling the 99%!
Obviously you have no issue with that

Read carefully. I said the redistribution of wealth from blue to red states is obviously a big flop if it is going to the top 1%. Maybe we should rethink that whole redistribution thing.

Come to NC, and you'll see that the Deep South is very different from the "New South." North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia are quite different from Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi.

The deep South and the new South are all trump States so they are homophobic and racist

[katzgar]

It is true that Louisiana is experiencing negative growth, but they are still diverse. They have a significantly higher black population than a lot of the Midwest, for example.

A lot of the South is experiencing heavy growth, however. North Carolina is both diverse and fast growing. So is Georgia. So is South Carolina.

As for things like education, it really depends on where you live within the state. Some cities are better than others about it, and it is often a matter of what part of the city you're in. Atlanta has both good schools and bad schools. The same is true for Charlotte. But this is true for just about every major city. Even cities that rank highly in education still have a few bad schools. Look at Boston, for example.

Healthcare is similar. Because of how oligopolistic many healthcare networks can be, some cities have great systems, while others are terrible. Variance can be high within the same state.

Roads are easier to generalize on the state level, because highways are usually managed by the state government (although interstate highways are partially funded and often partially managed by the feds). There are definitely some states that aren't as good in their road systems. There are parts of South Carolina that have terrible roads, so I'll give you that.

there really is no conversation here I don't even know why you're trying the numbers are the numbers it's very easy to research the southern states are shitholes States

Only Billionaires and morons vote red

All politicians spend our money. We as voters have the duty to ponder what we want it spent on, then vote for the candidates most likely to follow our priorities. Education is not a priority for (R)s. Sure, they scream loudly when forced to admit that America's kids are falling behind other countries' students in the education realm. But their answer is to impose more testing ("No Child Left Behind") while doing nothing to make actual effective changes.

[Micawber]

I do like standardized testing though. You need to do some sort of science to locate what needs fixing the most. I don't want morons doing Jesus tests
or stomping out science and passing on the kids only to lose jobs to Trump's Mubai based cheesy power tie factories.

How long until the Christians allege arithmetic is a culture war weapon against them? Probably next election cycle. Integers are satan's playground.

What is it Democrats are doing to improve education if its supposedly a priority for them?


Edit: And I agree with you that NCLB was cr*p. Total federal overreach with over emphasis on testing. That was the ultimate bi-partisan boondoggle.

Money is obviously important but from the article, "Repeated increases in school funding in recent years have not slowed calls for more money".

To me this is the exact reason why our education doesn't change and improve. We stick with the status quo, ask for money and when then that doesn't work continue to ask for more money. Rinse, wash and repeat.

Among the top five, Massachusetts scored 81.84 points. The Bay State also ranked No. 1 for educational attainment and quality of education, having the highest percentage of bachelor’s and graduate or professional degree holders.

guess which states are the low IQ states

The red jesuland states

The southern state’s educational attainment rank was 35 and it ranked at No. 21 for quality of education.

Colorado scored 71.24, Vermont scored 70.61 and Connecticut scored 70.47. Mississippi came in last place, scoring 21.01 points.

The study on which this article is based is about the lower level of education rural students receive compared to city and suburbs.

The government is a money factory with chutes and ladders and we pay them to direct it.

Denying that Dems want more total in and more out the edumacation chute and poor person chute, and Rs want less total in from the rich and more out the bomb bay door
and rich guy chute is just wrong. You prove it, you are an R and just said money doesn't work for ed for some magical mystical reason you haven't explained.. Money makes a better bomb same as it makes better ed with better books, better infrastructure and better teachers.
Explain why that should not be so.

The issue isn't so much the amount of money but its distribution, eh? Most school districts are very top-heavy on management and that's where a lot of educational dollars are flowing. In addition, wealthier locales obviously have better tax bases and therefore better funding for the local school districts. Shouldn't those districts receive less state funding so that more than be channeled to the lower-income areas where buildings are falling apart, textbooks are years out of date, and enrichment and early childhood programs are scarce?

(R)s' answer is to use taxpayer $$ for unaccredited religious and charter schools, thus robbing public schools of viability.

When schools or police departments want more money they run stories about the increased crime or poor exam performance.

In many states funding is related to the local property wealth and those schools receive less state funds because they are expected to use more local funding. In Texas some schools receive almost no state funds and even have to give some of their money to poorer districts. And poor/wealthy have everything to do with industry rather than large homes or a high income population. Some districts near me have relatively poor student populations but are funded almost entirely by industry property taxes.

and people of middle means move to the burbs to raise families and have safe good schools for their children, and the R answer to school massacres
is a gun solution to a gun problem, but I digress.

Just another reason why the burbs are now owned by the Ds, in addition to the urban, which was already theirs. The Rs only have Rural empty land.

We are going to crush in November. Crush it totally.

Lack of industry/business in a particular locale is definitely a huge factor in school funding.
