You’re seeing this play out in many ways. For most large cities, it comes down to class size and other programs. The affluent neighborhoods enjoy small class sizes and quality arts and sciences enrichment programs. Working class and poor neighborhoods, not so much.
That’s only part of the equation. In states with strong teacher’s unions, those districts offset costs by increasing class size and cutting funding to programs that fill the funnel of next generation teachers, and those chickens are coming home to roost.
MA is somewhat of an exception given the dense concentration of college educated tax payers, but huge disparity exists between the land of pumpkin spice and Volvos and the working class areas.
Equality is never going to happen in life.
Dude, when they mention Equality they are talking about Equality of Opportunity and Equality under the Law. And no one who is Sane is demanding Equality of Outcome is nothing more then a damn Strawman invent of those who to be Well Privileged over the rest of Society.
A situation that completely baffles me. I can't fathom why anyone would want to live in a big city.
I live in the San Francisco bay area, it sucks. It sucks a lot. Crowding, horrendous traffic, homelessness, crime, absurd prices. I'm counting down the days until I can evacuate. The one thing I won't do is look back.
I suppose some people are happy with both parents working, with hiring a stranger to raise their children. They think they're lucky to have found a 1200 square foot house that was only eight hundred thousand dollars. They're down right blessed to be able to ride bart to work for fifteen bucks each way and it only takes two hours of sitting in a shit infested train saying no to pan handlers.
