they don't. some of the worst schools are the best funded.
it's about culture. poor kids do great at school if they have parents who value education, or value education themselves. people who don't value education... do poorly at school.
it's just that rich kids/parents who don't value it... get propped up by a community that does. it's better to be a dumb kid in a rich school district than a smart kid in a poor district.
