My education
Public education is on the third or fourth rotation down a toilet-bowl cyclone right now. The prospect of education staying afloat for many more years without a complete remake of the institutions seems nearly impossible, as the cuts being made are only inch fillings of the one hundred foot hole that is the educational budget deficit in the great state of California. What I would like to explore, at least conceptually, as current hard research escapes me due to there being a library furlough day, is the possible structural causes of the current education deficit, and a comparison of state education against traditional means of education in the past.
The state public education system is one of the few social programs to exist without much hubub about whether or not it should exist. Granted, it is relatively new, as public school, to my limited knowledge, are approximately one hundred and fifty years old. Before school was institutionalized as a requirement, all education had to come about through private means, either through a mentorship, or a private institution that manages to live off various gathered wealths (religious based schools, colleges etc.). In order to receive an education, one either pursued it, or was forced into it. The likelihood of there being a person in an educational system idly waiting for it to end, as is so common in modern education, was much less. In the modern age education is a right to be had by all united states citizens, whether or not they want it until they reach the age of 18, where they can legally opt out without parental permission.
