In Minneapolis the best schools are not the best funded. The North Minneapolis schools, which perform the worst, have the highest funding per pupil by a fair margin.

I wish we could stop talking about education as though it's just a question of money. Certainly a base level of funding is required, but the real determinant of how well a child will do academically is how involved their parents are.

Not just parents though I graduated from Minneapolis public schools and looking back I would say nearly 1/3rd of teachers should not have been teachers for one reason or another.
