>> t was never enough. Inner city schools are the worst in the nation. And inner-city schools tend to have the more powerful teachers unions. Washington DC spends more per-student than any school system in America, at nearly $20k/per. As was proved, beyond any doubt at all, during the Texas Robin Hood debate (in which poorly funded school districts were shown to outperform some well-funded districts), how much you spend isn't important. What is important is how the money is spent. If, for example, it is spent on retirement benefits for teachers under an absurd union contract, or paying union teachers to sit in a rubber room, you tend not to see value for the money.
