All this with the worst funding in the nation....

Re: 12:49

.....which goes to show you that funding really makes very little difference when it comes to educational success.

Economic, cultural, and family factors are what determines if a child will be successful in school.

Case in point - the nation's best funded school district (North Slope Borough, Alaska) also has the nation's highest high school dropout rate.

So think about that next time somebody tells you that throwing money at education will solve all the problems. People who say that are trying to make more for themselves while delivering the same results.
