Our educational system is not serving our disadvantaged communities.
Public schools are funded by their respective communities' income because the taxpayers are responsible for helping provide money for schools.
This means that areas with low income are receiving less funding.
Without this funding, the schools are unable to hire more educators resulting in larger class sizes. The educators are also left with less funding for educational resources such as text books and supplemental materials. Extra curricular activities get cut completely.
These schools in disenfranchised low income communities are performing worse across the board and because of this their funding is being cut drastically.
