You must be joking. American inner cities have some of the most expensive, OVER-funded schools in the history of human civilization.
It seems like everything the ‘progressives’ control is ultimately corrupt. Maybe it’s because when you abandon meritocracy all that’s left is whimsy and subjectivity.
Not to the students. The teachers and administrator take most of it. School choice would force those schools to allocate more funding to learning if the alternative was to have no funding for the administration because they had no students.
America’s urban dumps don’t have a problem with bad schools. They have a problem with bad students.
Much of it are bad students because they come from bad homes, but they aren’t getting the money to fund their education. The teachers get the money. The staff get the money. The administration gets the money. The students get nothing.
In states, where the parents have more influence, the students get more money.
What the heck are you talking about? I never heard of a state where students get paid to go to school. Even with voucher programs, the voucher money is paid to the school … which means the teachers, the staff and the administrators get the money anyway.
I’m talking about textbooks and stuff like that.
If the money follows the child, good schools will get more money. Dropping a bunch of money does not guarantee that it filters down to educating the student.

It’s not just because they are black. Blacks in red states do a lot better than in blue states.
Textbooks and school supplies have almost nothing to do with the quality of a child’s education.
No. I am quite correct. If I spend $24,000/student, but they only receive themselves $300/student for funding and another state spends $7,000/student, but $6,000 goes to funding the actual education, the funding is higher in the $24,000 but the student himself receives less than the student who gets a higher share of the funding in the other state.
Spending per student does not mean the money from the spending actually reaches the student.
Well, teach certain groups of people to value an education.
Inequality can not be cured.
You are welcome to explain why funding in blue states can be as much as 4 times as the red states, but blacks in red states have higher outcomes, if the funding reaching the student himself is irrelevant.
Those low countries are far lower below average on the curve than the *high* countries are high above average.
That’s quite the disparity.
New study reveals widening gap on racial inequality in higher education

Who cares?
“ Some groups of people are dumber than others.”

And, from my observations over the decades, it’s getting worse….SUPERCHARGED GENETIC NATURAL SELECTION AT WORK. Stupidity and incompetency being financially encourage and intelligence and competency being taxed at high levels to support the stupid.
Nonsense,. This country had a far better educated and literate population when kids went to locally supported one room school houses that enforced behavior with disciple and the kids used a hand me down speller, a basic math book, a history book, and a McGuffey’s Reader.
Books are not the determining factor in whether a student is educated. Parental involvement and a desire for a good education are.
Teach the kids to read and do math and they can then go on and learn by themselves, anything they darn well please.
Educational funding is all spent on educators.
Inequality, as an outcome, cannot be achieved without hobbling the most able. Inequality, as opportunity, is very much possible.
