More $$ cannot and will not make teachers miracle workers. The elephant in the room is that there are cultures that put no value on education. The other elephant in the room is that there are parents that are just awful and cannot or will not support their kids going to schools. The third elephant in the room are kids that have serious behavioral issues due to bad parenting that should not be in regular class rooms. Until society decides on how to deal with deadbeat parents, stop putting a badge of honor on single moms that have kids out of wedlock, and make these parents accountable, no amount of $$$$ will solve the education problem. Society needs to be fixed first and a moral compass needs to be reintroduced into our society.
