School inequality
vendredi 24 novembre 2017 à 01:00State schools in the UK propagate class inequality by giving the children of working class parents a markedly worse education.
A similar thing happens in the US, though it works using zoning: wealthier parents congregate in suburbs where the smallest lot size excludes anyone less wealthy, so their real estate taxes can fund a better school. The urban poor get lousy schools that can't afford anything.
To stop stunting the growth of children from poor families, we need to fund their schools as well as wealthy children's families. We need to spend a lot more money per child than we do now.
We need to get the money by taxing the rich and the corporations.
