	Public Education in the United States - MSN Encarta
		After the American Revolution (1775-1783), the founders of the United States argued that education was essential for the prosperity and survival of the new nation.
		Their reform efforts focused on elementary education, on the idea that all young children should be schooled, and on the notion that the content of education should be the same for everyone.
		Public financing for secondary education was rare until 1874, when a Michigan Supreme Court decision involving the city of Kalamazoo established that communities could use local property taxes to support high schools.

	Enterprising Education: Doing Away with the Public School System - Mises Institute
		If the purpose of providing public schooling is to create an informed citizenry capable of choosing those individuals who run the nation, then surely the power to determine what is taught and how should not be rested in the hands of the governing individuals.
		All the arguments in favor of a public provision of primary education prove to be unfounded and/or incorrect.
		As well, if an educated citizenry is to be considered necessary for the operation of the republican government, then it is an inexcusable conflict of interest when elected officials are the ones in charge of providing that education.

		SBM can improve educational outcomes firstly by improving accountability of principals and teachers to students, parents and teachers, and secondly by allowing local decision-makers to determine the appropriate mix of inputs and education policies adapted to local realities and needs.

	Education: Overview
		The prevailing view is that public education as a whole is in bad shape and renewed efforts are needed to fix it.
