If the problem is that not enough money is being spent on inner city schools, then this is a problem that is correctable. I believe, however, that this is not the root cause of the problem. The "wealthy" suburbs are wealthy because the people living in them are highly skilled, well educated and have high paying jobs because they are well educated. These people MOTIVATE their children that education is important and push them to succeed. The people living in the inner city, on the other hand, are poor PRECISELY BECAUSE they lack education. They lack education because they did not care about learning when they had the opportunity. They do not VALUE education. And they pass on this attitude to their children. It is a self- perpetuating problem within inner city families. Most of whom are single parent families anyway because good 'ol dad had no sense of responsibility. The 5 F's apply. No amount of money spent on schools will educate children who just don't give a sh*t. This is a cultural problem. Bill Cosby's remarks are dead center.
