I keep saying over and over and over, John. It's not money.

Yes, you do. But this is about as sparse an argument as it gets. Who knows what accounts for these differences.

To restate my own views, much too briefly. I don't argue, don't even think it's possible to argue, at least on the basis of any serious set of data, that money alone will solve educational problems. But, by the opposite token, I don't see how it's possible to improve inner city education without adding lots of money. Perhaps even more than comparable suburban schools, precisely because the variables this article summons up.

But I continue to be fascinated by the number of reasonably well off folk who argue money doesn't matter about schools but make certain they either send their kids to expensive private schools or make certain they live in suburban areas with well funded public schools.
