>> The fact that Arkansas is poor doesn't mean it isn't spending money on education. Clearly, that sailed over your head. Let's try a different approach. Why are the worst schools in the country -- those which deliver the worst educations in nation -- also among the highest in per pupil spending? census.gov If there were any truth to your claims, Arkansas would be in the top ten spenders in the nation -- rather than 37th. And Washington DC should be one of the lowest per-pupil costs in the nation. But it isn't.
