After seeing the difference between a good school district and a bad one. Its pretty clear. It has always come down to the involvement of the parents in lives of their children. Kids in better neighborhoods tend to have parents that care more about their childs education. And a good education is the only motivator.
You could offer $10k a year to lower income parents and I dont think it would get the kids grades up. Those parents will spend more time trying to figure out how to take advantage of the system or cheat to get the money. And liberal politicians will find a way to help them cheat to gain their votes.
