[quote=Anonymous]In case the point isn't clear enough to you, the math and the politics for funding schools doesn't work if we keep adding an outsized share of low-income kids. Concentrated poverty is terrible for schools. We have numerous elementary schools with 70-80% FARMS rates. To nobody's surprise, the higher income people in those neighborhoods tend to choose private. While some of that I'm sure has to do with racism, it's also a rational choice given what we know about the impacts of concentrated poverty on education. This is not sustainable, and I don't know how folks don't see this.[/quote]
