Because. Like I said. Public schools are poorly run. They invest everything in sports programs so they can get on TV and get more money to then reinvest into sports. Meanwhile the computer courses are teaching on Apple II's in the heyday of Windows XP/Vista.

>preschool

but its preschool, no? Or is the preschool in the US going to an age beyond 6 years? H ere in germany preschool is before 1. class elementary school and you enter elementary at age 6.

Who takes preschool sports serious?

Most public schools in the US are all one big school district. Like the state budget is the same for all of them. Then it's divided up by counties, then cities and towns. The state won't allocate much budget to a preschool, and the schools they give most of the budget to spend it on sports programs. Most teachers in public schools are expected to buy their own classroom supplies. Our schools are criminally underfunded and the leadership is corrupt. If the budget were increased it'd still probably just be funneled into the sports programs. New uniforms, equipment, remodeling the gym, football field, etc.

You’re the one not reading. School districts, shared budget, sport focus, no money for preschools in general.

There’s not a separate preschool budget. There’s just the budget for the school district.

it does not need to be seperated. or the way shared budget is used for americans fundamentaly clashes with european understanding of said shared budget.

The idea that preschool budget which is part of district wide educational budget could be affected by high school sports is foreign to us.

Our preschools also share a budget with all schools in the same district. A bigger school does get more money per child but that does not substract from another school and also more funds are allocated to schools in social flashpoints or places who have been historically worse off as well as older schools. (due to their cultural heritage value as a school) But just because the highschool next door is huge, doesnt mean that the preschool gets less funds
