There is in my area a new proposal on the table: One city one school.
The idea is that it is logical to have one school district in charge of one city. Currently, there are numerous, from former small towns and some that are just independent. One of the disctricts wants to anex all of the others. They want to take over, calling it "logical".
For starters, this is not logical, except in a socialist welfare state mentality. If you are a parent, and you want the highest quality school you can get, you don't want one school disctrict. what you want is choice. If one school disctrict is corrupt and not up to your standards, you can go somewhere else. This currently happens. And what will it force? It will force the others to reform. What is going to make the one school district reform or continue in excellence with no competition? Well, essentially nothing. It goes back to the old socialist problem. There are no penalties for inefficiency or poor production. And that is why it is such a poor proposal, to the point of being anti-capitalist.
