Lets (finally) face reality here - More money is going to do nothing for these schools except pay more ridiculous benefits and administrator salaries. The graduation/education rate here is horrible because of the parents, not the school system.  The  kids are a reflection of the parents, the ones who drop out and fail probably should flip burgers for the rest of their lives. I have some of these types in my own family and I say good riddance and I am NOT going to throw good money after bad, giving the School District more money to educate losers is foolish and stupid.
