text: Inner city schools have plenty of money?????  In what universe?
  The suburban public schools that have good funding do very well by their students.  Inner city schools, with many poor children do not have nearly enough money to provide the services necessary.  Public schools in many parts of the country, which have significant working class poor populations usually do not have the funds (and often also lack the sufficiently talented administrators) to provide the services that the children need to succeed.
