Actually, that link I supplied reveals the inner city Chicago schools get more per capita than the schools in the suburbs do.
That should open a few eyes.
I should mention that report was from the 2001 time frame. A lot could have changed since then, but I doubt it did.
Thanks for the info, liberals tend to say that we need to spend more money on whatever problem they are talking about. How about shifting the debate, to discussion of how the schools are spending the money they already get???
