Thus, every state has significant power over what is taught in its schools, and over the necessities that a student should meet; they are additionally liable for the subsidizing of tutoring. The authors mention these topics among others to explain their opinion: Chapter 1: “How American Education Systems Have Evolved?;” Chapter 2: “North American Primary and Secondary Schools;” and Chapter 3: “The North American Higher Education System.”
