Are inner city kids given the same opportunities as other children in more prominent areas in all states? If not why and what can we do to help change it? Please lets try not to make this a race thing, I believe it has to be more to it then that. ~~ A curious college student

Do districts calculate funding and teacher load the same across all schools?
  • They say it's based on daily attendance calculation...

Are funding requirements of inner city schools higher?
  • Most teachers will NOT teach in a "troubled" school if you will, so are they required to be paid more or do they ask for a higher pay rate?

Are the school funding’s taxed at a lower rate in prominent areas and more in the inner cities?

Are there more recreational activities for kids in prominent areas then the inner city?
  • Some have stated the families are more wealthy, so if a pool needs to be placed in a parent has no problem funding a check or if the music department or even books need to be purchased its not uncommon for a parent or family company to write a fat check or is it a hefty check?

What about colleges/universities at enrollment time? How do they view one over the others? Is one given special treatment over the other?

  1. I believe you we all know the answer to that. You said we can't curse on here so...H E double hockey sticks NO! This is America where the land of the free means, if you ain't shoveling money into the rich people's hands by the dozen you will receive the bare minimum. Only because they don't want there to be third world areas in the country. They will deal with projects and trailer parks but not third world.

  2. Notice how we always seem to have a shortage of teachers yet you never hear of a shortage of lawyers? And no offense to teachers but its A LOT harder to become a lawyer than it is a teacher. It comes down to money, I know lots of people who would make great teachers, but you can't expect someone to give up a six-figure salary and live on peanuts. So until there's a true public outcry and not just public whining, things will never change.

    Besides, most people don't even vote. They just watch the NBC special on education and go about their day.
