The purpose of this is allegedly to fix problems with the current Robin Hood system, which is truly flawed. And the irony is this...the new plan is proposed by one of the creators of Robin Hood.

And this is supposedly done in the name of helping the poor rural schools. In reality, the lesser populated areas [read: fewer voters] are the ones usually fighting this because their schools are not the problem. It is the school districts in the densely populated urban areas like the pitiful one here in Dallas who are the problems.
