Just so everyone is aware Baltimore is 2nd in per pupil spending. This is not because the schools dont get enough money. In fact its just about as far away from that as you can get.

If despite getting the 2nd more funded, your students still can't do high school math, then the problem isn't about money or racism, it's probably about corruption, gangs, fatherlessness, teacher unions and lack of school choice.

Tax payer money literally just disappears.
