We would be called to the table if we assigned such a thing.


However, like I said, we have equal funding for all students--regardless of where families reside--they have quality education.


ETA: So, no, there would be no assignments that some kids could *afford* and others could not.
I still don't understand why the US can't have equal funding. Does anyone know why the unequal system of funding schools is still in effect?
