10 Apr 2001 - Bush described the plan he sent to Congress as "a new way of doing ... notably education, and make room for his 10-year, $1.6 trillion tax cut. ... that the spending will be restored, but the bad news is that large tax cuts will go ..."

I believe you need to reread some of mindships old posts, one of the problems with inner city schools with a high lvl of poverty is the culture that mocks getting educated and its a HUGE problem.
All education stems from the family and if there isn't a good unit to enforce and build the value at home no amount of money will make you care about school and grades. My aunt used to make a joke that at her family gatherings (she's vietnamese) the parents discussed their B grade kids as the problem child vs the straight a students:P That's probably one of the reasons asians excel in getting their education.
I'm well aware of what mindship posted, I miss his recent departure from the board and he is not who I am alluding to over cherry picked data in regard to education, attainment and ethnicity. He has never made anything but sane and balanced posts. Others, not so much.
Adam Smith. Arguably the most influential figure of their entire economic system but only focusing on the bad things that he said like the invisible hand moving the market killing the poor.

Baltimore City Public Schools continue to rank among the highest spenders in the U.S. on a per-student basis, placing third among the 100 biggest school systems during fiscal year 2017.
City schools spent $16,184 per pupil, according to data released Tuesday by the Census Bureau, up 6.7% from last year when the school system ranked fifth nationally. Baltimore City is the 40th-largest elementary and secondary public school district in the U.S. with 82,354 students. Four Maryland school districts ranked among the top 10 nationally, compared to five a year ago.
And here is how the did on math tests:
BALTIMORE (WBFF) – An alarming discovery coming out of City Schools. Project Baltimore analyzed 2017 state testing data and found one-third of High Schools in Baltimore, last year, had zero students proficient in math.
African Americans have a shitty ignorance and truancy culture that feeds their poor performance. Many in the black community are fighting this shitty culture and I believe their scores are improving. You can't throw money at black issues and it solves all the problems. Some extremely poor Pakistani children sitting on rocks are more educated than our black children the same age - has nothing to do with money and everything to do with culture. I literally work with young black men and try to help them overcome their stupid culture and truancy issues. Just show up to work, stop arguing with your teachers, check your ego and stop getting into fights, actually do your damn homework, BAM! You escape the cycle of violence and poverty. Sometimes, I just want to smack the shit out of their parents for being giant pieces of shit. These young men want to make something of themselves and when they start to succeed, their parents, aunts, uncles, etc. start to mock them (it's jealousy). F*cking miscreants.
Afro-Americans are smart and perform better than the white population because they bring hard-working culture with them when they immigrate.
Our Hispanic immigrants' children perform better than the poor countries they come from but still not as good as the average so they bring the average down. Think of it like the world average improving but the US average is brought down. Like I said, this is a win, overall. Because I view humans as a whole when it comes to educating our children. Should be free for all kids as kids deserve knowledge and education.
But if we adopted the do or die education culture of South Korea, suicide rates would skyrocket.
Even very poor Koreans perform far better than even our average upper-middle class Americans.
We (you) have to stop viewing education failings as a poor people problem. It's a culture problem. If you have a culture of educational attainment, you can be poor (but that won't last long) and still be a top world performer.
Want to see black children's educational attainment vastly improve? Fix the broken home problem which vastly disproportionately impacts black families (the disparity is so different among blacks compared to any other demographic that it should be the #1 crisis American politicians address but no one actually gives a shit about black people in the US).

Culture is derived from poverty/economic differences between people. A little of it comes from stupid racism, but it's mostly due to not having the money.
