@todd3205 " It wasn't until opportunist political candidates figured out that, if they ran on an anti-tax platform, they could always win (well, with a dose of redistricting). The first 'tax' thing to get cut was education, and in education; liberal arts and history." The spending on the public education system is many times what it was when it worked. Throwing more money at the problem has not improved the situation. Two decisions by President Carter, the legalization of public sector unions and the establishment of the federal Department of Education, have ushered in an era of the education system being run as a jobs program for teachers, as well as increasing the classroom time devoted to political indoctrination. A shifting of emphasis from humanities to science in primary and secondary education had already been implemented more than a decade before in response to Sputnik, out of (ill founded) fears that the US was falling behind the Soviets in science and technology.
