I cannot help but wonder if public school education funding works the same way across the United States and around the world. I just recently learned how it works in California. Despite what some folks may say, the funding process is not designed with the student in mind. Nor, is it designed with the teacher in mind. Instead, it is designed to perpetuate a system of education. A school district in California gets government funding based upon the number of students that SHOW UP for class. If a parent loses his job and the family moves out of the school district, that could be bad news for the school where he was enrolled in terms of government funds - especially if the student population should actually decrease.

Does this system of government funding of public schools being studient population-based only apply to California?
