The whole thing I was mentioning about zip codes is the consolidation of resources. Different schools, different opportunities, different lives.
It’s a situation I don’t know the answer too. I lived in a city that went bankrupt and went to a school that later got shutdown due to low funding, but I had the means to buy a house in a well funded school district to give my kids the best opportunity. I contributed to a poor school district getting poorer and a rich school district get richer.
Before I became a teacher I was a substitute for a couple of years for various districts in the Bay Area. The segregation (class/wealth/race/etc) in the Bay Area is very real and it effects the future generation. But again, by looking at the stats you don’t need my anecdote. Anecidites are pretty much useless when looking at societally issues.
