Missouri funds schools in the most inequitable way…only 32% of funding comes from the state. The rest must come from local taxes, which is why schools in the city have massive performing arts centers and million dollar football fields, and schools in the country don’t have science labs.

Stephen King couldn’t make that shit up.
If Missouri is like most states, the rural areas of the state have more power in the legislature than urban areas, and they seem alright with things as they are.
We'd be screwed without it.
Resistance isn't futile & revolution is necessary.

Some rural areas have such oil wealth and wind farms they are “off formula” and do not receive state money
It took a long time until I understood it wasn't normal to still be using curriculum from before we walked on the moon.
If Vlad and Elon want to buy our elections, they have to fund our schools first.
It's always a grift... always.
It’s a terrible system in terms of giving everyone an equal footing.

Back bc they cannot
Get out.
The veteran staff barely even tried to learn your name because they knew you’d leave. I don’t mean that as a criticism - there were some great people, both admin and teachers, doing the best they could, truly.
But the under-resourcing was criminal.

It's wealthy vs poor.
Your "schools in the city" reference are actually the wealthy suburbs of the city. The city itself doesn't give enough per child because it has comparatively poor local taxes. There is inequity there too.
Its the burbs that have these things, not the inner city.
If any money from lottery or casino goes into the school pot, twice that money leave the school pot back to the general fund.
Most of the lottery and other gambling money goes to the people that convinced our state to gamble. And to prizes.
But the richest CUNTry in the world that can’t look after its veterans who they want to kill off so they don’t tell the truth & want to dumb kids down so they become uneducated muppets not a political force!!!
There's a reason urban areas tend to vote blue at higher rates.
Win the game at the cost of the entire nation.
