Comments by "Doncarlo" (@doujinflip) on "Why Does Estonia Have the Best Education System in Europe? - VisualPolitik EN" video.
Probably because the weakness of America's public welfare means that school districts end up taking on the roles that a larger dedicated statewide program should provide. It sounds like Estonia as a whole provides the fundamentals such as student meals, healthcare, and teacher training, whereas in the US the individual states, districts, and campuses have to budget all that in.

The "charter" schools have to continuously compete against each other for real student achievement and thus public funding. Plus the teachers get subsidized intensive education themselves. None of this letting a church or other private organization set up a curriculum that's merely alternative to the government-run "failure".

@luisoviedo-perez2896 More like that's what our politics naturally converges on in a winner-take-all system where the collection of losers becomes the only other side. Unfortunately this administratively simple concept also encourages pushing the extremes as a way to differentiate one from the other, since the real political spread is more a continuous spectrum.
