What causes financial inequality throughout the United States? • State funding for public schools comes from property taxes • Special Education funding is a fixed percentage
The conditions of these U.S public schools are unacceptable • Quality education should be available to all children • The quality of a child’s state provided education should not depend on the value of their house
Discussion Questions: • What are your thoughts on equalizing funding? • Do you think that providing these children with a good education is enough? • Do you have any personal experiences related to this topic?
