Chicago Public Schools spends $15,000 on average per student per year and they're always b*ing about money. There's no lack of funding in the majority of neighborhoods. There's just too much waste and corruption. your claim does not extrapolate to all neighborhoods and is thus also 'a bunch of bullshit' http://hechingerreport.org/the-gap-between-rich-and-poor-schools-grew-44-percent-over-a-decade/ http://www.ed.gov/news/media-advisories/secretary-duncan-urban-league-president-morial-spotlight-states-where-education-funding-shortchanges-low-income-minority-students i would suggest instead taking the argument path that the problem lies with parents because we'd agree on that. the biggest performance gaps between rich and poor kids occur over summer break. and then you'd get to blame poor parents. everyone wins. It's basic math that a rich community will have more money to send towards their childrens' education than a poor community. Why is that a bad thing? It's the community's right to use their funds for improving their offspring's viability. I glimpsed through that link. It talks about how hard it is to collect accurate data about how much money actually goes where. And it talks about how federal funding equalizes inequalities. So Idk the problem seems a lot more nuanced than "THE RICH GIVE THEIR OWN COMMUNITY TOO MUCH FUNDING" or w/e. Maybe the expectation that every school receive the same exact amount of funding is a stupid expectation to begin with. Maybe the more successful communities are entitled to ensure that more of their net worth goes to their own community and offspring. Also, CPS receives more funding than the average Illinois student. Yet the CPS system is complete shit even though it uses a system similar to what you propose (redistribution of funds from other districts and whatnot) https://www.illinoispolicy.org/busting-forrest-claypools-4-big-myths-about-cps-funding/ Clearly more money isn't the end-all be-all of "equalizing" the system. People clamoring for a federal takeover are just socialists who think more nannyism and more funding solves everything.
