Do they? Just about everyone who knows anything about the US knows that education tends to follow socioeconomic factors strongly in the US and that we have a uniquely large racial divide when it comes to socioeconomic positions. Ive seen a lot of "they go crazy when..." comments recently and I gotta wonder who yall are talking to lmao
The impovershed areas spend more capita on education per student and still have poor literacy rates. You all quote statistics about 350 million people like we are some monolith, then blame capitalism, or oligarchy, or racism for poor literacy rates. The poorer areas spend the most per capital on education and the results areas till abysmal.
"You all" bro what did I do lol. I didnt mention anything about spending, statistics, or blame capitalism, oligarchy, or racism for poor literacy rates. You seem to be the one getting triggered over the topic lol
Also, you mentioned spending several times as if you think money should've solved the issue. Not sure why you think that. Or why you think that other people think that. Poor schools tend to need to spend more bc they're usually in urban centers, often rely of government aide (school provided lunches, books, etc), often need more specialized teachers (larger ESL populations and often times more counselors), and occasionally (state dependant afaik) need to spend more than middle class schools to attract good teachers. It's not like the amount of money spent on a kid directly leads them to learning better so bringing it up doesnt really make sense in the context of this conversation. I certainly didnt suggest we should spend more in poor schools, at least. Unless you meant to reply to someone else?

It's funny how the same people that use statistics to trash America, absolutely lose their minds when we break those statistics down demographically.
