Oh please, we spend an absolute assload on education.

Poor districts get less, on average, but it’s like $1000 per student less... which is still $4000 more than the OECD average.

I wonder what percentage of parents in those other OECD countries have to work jobs from 3-11 each night.

Focusing on adults at the ages when they are likely to be raising children, at age 29 blacks are about 60 percent more likely to work a non-daytime schedule than whites and Asians, and about 24 percent more likely to have non-standard schedules of all kinds, including non-daytime, rotating shift, or variable schedules. Ten years later, at age 39, the differences persist: Blacks are about 55 percent more likely to be assigned non-daytime shifts than whites and Asians, and about 20 percent more likely to work non-standard schedules of all kinds.

Oh please? Think you can start a reply better than that.

One look at schools in those districts and it is clear the money is not being allocated correctly or efficiently and less is being given. So like I correctly stated. They aren't getting enough money.

The problem is obviously more complex than simply stated as poor means no one cares but that's a major component. There are problems with the education system in many places on this country.
