I am in between when it comes to forming an opinion on this court case. I believe that filing a law suit was right because if students' schools are not receiving equitable funding, they will lack necessary resources to be successful. In contrast, I don't fully agree with the court's final decision. I think that it was extremely appropriate that the court clearly stated that all children should be provided with a sound basic education regardless of circumstances. What I don't fully agree with is where it was stated that the state is fully responsible for delivering Leandro's right to every child. I think the local school districts should obtain some type of responsibility when regarding this situation, considering some counties and districts have more money than others, rather than looking at the state as a whole - this is why I selected that I do not agree with the decision.

I do not agree with Leandro v. State because today schools already do not have enough for books technology and other things for the school. I believe that we should find a way to better fund schools weather it being fundraising  or donating. The state has to do better when it comes to everyone's education and the way each of us learn.

Education is a big part of how many of us learn. If their is no funding to help each school than why do even need state. They are not making any changes that betters everyone's education.

I agree with the fact the cost stated that "all children residing in North Carolina - have a fundamental right to the Opportunity to receive a sound base education." But I don't agree with the courts saying "neither school district or counties have any constitutional right to equal funding." Because the problem with funding is that many Counties and school districts have more money than there school districts. School districts that have less money to put back into school revenue. Then the State should give more funding to the districts that have a height regressive taxes. I agree with that every student has the right to receive a sound basic education. But I don't agree with the courts final decision. this is my reasoning for choosing No.

I do not agree because school do not have a lot of money in general for the basic things they need to teach. Like today with schools being online there needs to be more funding for students who don’t have access to internet or computers. There needs to be a way to get more money for school to properly teach and provide for the students.

I agree in the ruling that education should not be based off of where someone lives or their parents wealth. Public school is for the public at large and with taxes being elevated somehow some off that money should make it back into the overall education and infrastructure of this schools and with the lottery supposedly to pick up the slack for some of these kids and schools it ended up in a general fund instead of directly into the school board hands- this is why I agree with the decision.

I personally do not entirely agree with the final decision in the case of Leandro v. State. I believe the decision to choose equality vs choosing equity was made in the final ruling. This belief was caused by the ruling that every county or district would be granted equal finances, support, etc. However, the reality for most low income schools compared to schools with plentiful financial accommodations is their is still a apparent disadvantage. Allowing for privileged districts and schools to receive similar benefits as the significantly lacking districts is counterproductive. These is why I don’t agree with the final decision.

For the most part I do not agree with the decisions decided on by the court. However, one thing I do agree with is the court putting the responsibility on the state to deliver a quality education to all students. One thing I do not completely agree with is funding not being equal. Even though it is not realistic for funding from every source to be equal, the funding that schools are receiving does make a difference on student and their educations. I do think that the court should do more and could do more to ensure that schools are getting the funding that is necessary. I also think that even though it is up to the individual state, more could be done on a Federal level to ensure that schools are getting adequate funding and students are getting a quality education.
This is why I do not completely agree with what the court decided.

I do not agree because it is not the Childs fault the school does not have enough funding to have a good education. There is plenty of things you can do to provide funding to help the school out.

No, I do not agree with the Leandro v. State ruling. All children should have the right to equal education regardless of their background or family’s income status. Children should be provided with the same technologies, books and other classroom materials as students in wealthier districts. More funding should be supplied to ensure equity.

I do agree with the ruling in the Leandro V. State case. It is the state of North Carolina’s duty to provide a public education that is fair and equitable across the state. Where taxes in lower income areas are  higher, additional federal funding and grant money should be allocated towards these poorer communities. Access to resources and stellar teaching is the right of all North Carolina students; regardless of address. The Leandro V. State demands that every student have competent educators, materials and entry into opportunity like their suburban neighbors.

I do not agree with the Leandro v. State ruling because students are not at fault for where they live or how much funding their school has. Students should all have equal opportunity for the same education. Background and family income should not decide whether or not you get a good education.

# data[].attributes.body
I absolutely do not agree with the ruling. I think their definition of a "sound and basic education" is ridiculous. Students from lower income schools are definitely not getting #3 on their list. "3. Sufficient academic and vocational skills to enable the student to successfully engage in postsecondary education or vocational training;" teachers in lower income schools and counties do not have the resources to provide children with what they need for postsecondary education.

I agree with the courts decision in this case. I believe that it was the right decision because no matter what city you live in, you should receive the same quality of education as people in other areas. I believe that this is one of the biggest issues facing our education system today.

I am undecided on my stand towards this case but I agree that "all children residing in North Carolina have a fundamental state constitutional right to the opportunity to receive a sound basic education." With this being said I do not agree that "neither school districts nor counties have any constitutional right to equal funding." The state should be giving more funding to the schools that do not have enough money to add resources back into the school. Students can not help what community they grow up in and they should have access to a better education than the one that is described in what the court defined as a sound education.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally disagree because education is such an important part of everyones' lives, especially in today's society. I feel there should be more of a budget for students and schools so that students are given the best learning opportunities possible. This is affected especially in poorer areas, and children that live in poverty have a harder time being motivated and staying in school.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not agree with this case at all. Not everyone is given or even has a chance to receive an education like we do. The state needs to take equity in eduction more seriously to assure everyone receives the same proper education. No matter the location of the school.

For the most part, I do agree with the Leandro v. State ruling. I fully support and agree with the statement that all children within the state have a “fundamental state constitutional right to the ‘opportunity to receive a sound basic education’” (Leandro v. State). I also believe that it is not possible for all districts or counties to have equal funding, as this would fail to close the growing resource gap between those schools within higher-income and lower-income districts. Those schools previously at a much higher disadvantage would require more resources to bring student achievement up to the same level as their counterparts. Therefore, while equal funding isn’t the answer, equitable funding is necessary. In order for all students to be afforded the same opportunity to a sound basic education, all schools throughout the U.S. must be able to provide the necessary resources for both students and teachers. The amount of funding and resources providing to schools has a massive impact on the ability of staff to provide all students, especially those who are disadvantaged, with an adequate, sound education. However, I do not agree with the ruling in that it places sole responsibility on the state to provide these resources. I believe that in order to allow all students across the country, not just within individual states, the same opportunities, there are many changes that could be made at all levels of government to provide students and staff with sufficient resources.
